U-571, also, at no point says it's a true story and lists the real Enigma
'missions' at the end. 

It's just a movie; no more, no less.

We have a channel if you want to watch real historical dramas, named "The
History Channel".   Pearl Harbor, U-571 etc are just entertainment and you all
need to relax.
