Das Boot
German submarine drama
Das Boot is German for "the boat," specifically referring to a submarine (U-Boot, short for Unterseeboot).
The phrase is known primarily from the 1981 German war film depicting life aboard a World War II submarine.
In casual use, it sometimes appears as a joking pseudo-German exclamation or reference to submarines generally: We're going down like Das Boot.
