'Das Boot', the mini-series, was actually co-produced
( financially, that means, they sponsored the production only with money but without taking any other part in it otherwise )
by the BBC and also a
French broadcasting station !
Therefore it was also broadcasted on TV in the UK and France in the mid eighties.
As said, regarding the financing
it was a German-British-French co-production so to speak.
But the staff of the movie / mini-series ( studio, wtiters, director, actors , camera, the whole technical staff ) was solely German.

It is a brilliant movie. I recall seeing it with an audience of mainly young people in California who cheered at the beginning when they read that 75% of German submariners died during WWII. By the end of the film that audience were subdued and had gained a respect for these men.

Definitely one of the best WW2 films about the German side. I've met with a few veterans from Germany which helped me to appreciate these films all the more. Most of them fought not for Hitler but for Germany & each other.

So sehe auch.aber für beide seiten war unnötiges drama
