Now that I think about it, I know they did it, but it didn't bother me. Not like it does in Sharpe's Tiger, anyway. And yeah, I've watched the original version of Das Boot (all 6+ hours of it).

Lol. I get you. I would hate that too. Even in films, I've always found this a stupid gimmick. I guess the military is all about cadence, so we'll have to settle for this nonsense in our art when we choose it as a subject. Look at it this way, a couple of sirs will always be less intrusive than a page full of 'Jawohl Herr Obersturmführer!' Just try watching <i>Das Boot</i> in the original version :-) Sir, yes, sir!
