This movie is based on both the real-life Chariot human torpedo attacks on the German battleship Tirpitz during the Second World War as well as Operation Source, which was a series of attacks by X-class midget submarines on Nazi German warships, the Tirpitz, Scharnhorst and Lutzow, in Northern Norway during World War II.
This film's 'Submarine X-1' title refers to the X class submarine which was a real World War II midget submarine class built for the Royal Navy during the 1943-44 period. The mini-subs were also known as X-Craft.
The movie utilizes black-and-white archive footage (such as for parachuting) as part of the story (not as historical reference) and as such these shots do not match. It is rare for this type of color - b/w inter-cutting to occur in full color movie where the archive footage is not intended to be a historical reference.
The fifty-man allie submarine seen at the start of the movie was called the Gauntlet. The name of the German battleship also seen during the opening and later was called the 'Lindendorf'.
Released in 1969, this picture was actually produced in 1967.
