@bodhiapurva3887 U-110 was the first of only three U-boats ever to be boarded by Allied servicemen during the war, and the episode provided a basis for the Oscar-winning film U-571, which reimagined the daring assault and boarding of U-110 as an American naval victory. Despite Lt Cdr Balme’s sanguine defence of the film, screenwriter David Ayer admitted in 2006 that he “did not feel good” about altering the historical fact, suggesting the U.S rather than Royal Navy captured the naval enigma cipher. Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s The Film Programme, Ayer conceded: "It was a distortion...a mercenary decision...to create this parallel history in order to drive the film for an American audience. Both my grandparents were officers in the Second World War, and I would be personally offended if somebody distorted their achievements." Balme noted the film would not have been financially viable or reach as wide an audience as it did without being Americanised. He was pleased the credits acknowledged the Royal Navy’s role in capturing the Enigma ciphers, and glad the story had been told in tribute to all the men involved.
