For interior shots of the submarine, the production used a full-scale steel replica in the largest studio space in continental Europe. The vessel was mounted on top of an enormous platform, which used a hydraulic gimbal to mimic the jostling movements of the sea. As Jan Fedder, who plays Pilgrim, recalls in Das Boot: Revisited, at one point during the shoot, the boat tipped up completely on its end. "Jurgen flew into the edge If it had fallen, we'd have been crushed by 80 tonnes of steel. We'd have been dead."
