* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The only battleship named ''Brandenburg'' the German navy ever had was a pre-dreadnought ship that was scrapped in 1920. Also by 1943 the German surface navy was basically completely hemmed in by the Allies, with the Kriegsmarine not daring to put their remaining battleships to sea.

A 1943 [[SubStory submarine film]] about the British submarine ''Sea Tiger'' (P61). Returning from an unsuccessful patrol, the crew of the ''Sea Tiger'' is given a week's leave, only to have it cut short when they receive orders to sink the new German battleship, the ''Brandenburg.'' Unfortunately the ''Brandenburg'' puts to sea early, and ''Sea Tiger'' is forced to chase it all the way to the Baltic, leaving the sub low on fuel and the skipper contemplating scuttling the ship and surrendering to the Germans. Until one of ''Tiger's'' crew comes up with a plan...

* CrazyEnoughToWork: Using captured Luftwaffe uniforms and a crewman who speaks German and knows a particular port very well, the ''Sea Tiger'' sails right into an occupied Danish harbor and refuels itself.
* FakingTheDead: One of the reasons the ''Tiger'' runs low on fuel is that it dumps a significant amount to convince a German destroyer that it's been successfully depth charged, after attacking the ''Brandenburg.''
* SubmarineStory: Fits all the tropes, with most of the action taking place in the confines of the ''Sea Tiger''.
