As you say, the Germans came along "hours later," which is plenty time enough to stumble upon the beached boat.

So the germans just stumble onto the boat on a beach that is just a bit down from all of the English soldiers? And they take target practice at a boat instead of having an all out battle with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers right nearby.

Maybe im not understanding how far down this boat was from the main contingent of troops but im pretty sure at one point it shows of of the commanders on the mole notice the boat with his naked eye.

And moreso when the 3 soliders lying on the beach see a group of soldiers running towards the boat they look up and the boat is basically just a couple of hundred yards off.

Perhaps i'd need to rewatch that sequence again but I'm just not really understanding it.
