Does anyone know how he came to speak the German he spoke in U-571? As far as I could tell, his German was authentically spoken. Does he know German or did he simply rehearse and recite those particular lines (in German of course)?

It wouldn't surprise me if he had a minor in German or something similar since Middlebury is somewhat well known for its Foreign Languages department -- in particular, a fairly well-known scholar in Latin (whose name escapes me at the moment). -pj
