Stop whining and get your facts straight

All you Brits out there just need to get over yourselves. About three of you have mentioned the Royal Navy capturing a Kriegsmarine Enigma machine in 1941. This is true. But many Enigma machines were captured, off of U-Boats, weather teams in Greenland, North Africa, etc. And many were captured far earlier than 1941 (Bletchley Park was reading the majority of German military Enigma traffic as early as the Battle of Britain in 1940). Most were captured by the British, but some were captured by the Canadians and the Americans. I would love to see a movie about the spectacular British contributions to ULTRA. But in the mean time, just enjoy (or not) U-571 as a movie on its own merits.
"it's annoying to see such historically inaccurate films like this coming out that takes the credit away from one nation and gives it to another that, and let's be honest here, doesn't need much more really now does it?"
Perhaps you should learn your own lesson. The first Enigma machine was captured and smuggled to England by the Polish Underground in late 1939 (as I recall). The British are in no position to complain about others not sharing credit for wartime victories.
And the comparison to a movie about the British dropping the Atomic bomb on Japan is stupid. No British planes dropped the Bomb, while Americans did, in fact, capture Enigma machines.
To learn more about ULTRA, Enigma, and Allied crypto-analysis during WWII, read "Bodyguard of Lies" by Anthony Cave Brown.
