Was the DVD in the original German (even if with subtitles)? Or was it dubbed into English. We watched Das Boot (an excellent movie and mini-series) in the original German and as dubbed (for the second release of the movie in the US) and dubbing loses quite a bit. As an aside totally unrelated to this post, we (we're German speakers) refer to Bush's "Homeland Security" initiative as "<i>Heimat</i>sicherheit." There's a bit of a Nazi ring to it.
