Thanks for the quick answer, but not it will not work for me.

I want to make the diff of the HEAD vs HEAD~5 for example of the master git containing the submodules. with the command "git submodule foreach git difftool ..." , I need to found for each submodules which commit was pointing the master one at HEAD~5 . This solution is not possible.
