Their averaging figures got messed up but U-391.33 just didn't look right and U-1174/3 didn't seem much better.The film U-571 is based on 3 separate incidents involving 3 different U-Boats.
Except to keep the movie short of a TV series they'd have to cut out too much of the real action to add in their 'necessary' embellishments.Perhaps it would have been more fitting if they'd named the film U-505. The true story of the capture of U-505 is epic enough to stand on its own.
