I would not be surprised if the average US submariner is not exactly the kind of person who would seek out german anti-war movies about submarines.

I mean, us as IT people ... how many of us have even heard of Dhunki, an 2019 Indian movie about morals and suffering in an Bangalore IT company?

I'm not an IT person and I'd never heard of "Dhunki" until your comment.

Turns out it's on Prime Video:

I'm watching it tonight! Thank you for the tip.

I would bet the average U.S. submariner wasn't even born when "Das Boot" was released in 1981 — 44 years ago.

Age of a movie is not an indication of it being known by younger audiences. Star Wars is 46 years old, and virtually everyone knows it.
