Thanks a lot for your love to this music, It reached 10 thousand views and i cannot believe this is happening, a first for me, and hope it'll happen with other of my videos, just a sincere thanks.
The DVD liner notes didn't mention this song but when John and Dan visited the Steve & Garry radio show, they shared a recording of this song. For all I know, it was saved because it was on a show recording somewhere.
In 1979 it was the first American country ballad, I DID completely understand. Now I can sing it myself and know what it's about. Honour to Crews of both gallant ships!
The bismarck was not sunk. They scuttled it. The best thing was that a WW1 biplane was the reason that it happened. Its torpedo damaged the ships rudder. I was not able to be fixed at sea only in port. So they could not help but to go in circle steering. I am not sure but the most high tech ship was bought down by the rudder being expossd on outside of it. Not being inside where armour would protect it and be able to fix on inside of ship. Since they were not able to aim guns straight radar guided guns were useless. They were able to hit at 23 25? Miles comoared to anyones 17 18? It allowed Brits to get inside their guns and just have a turkeyshoot. It was hit by 1000 shells at least and still stayed afloat.
@@shawnyoung8752 Here we go again with people claiming she was scuttled. Here;'s the answer She was sunk and her crew allowed it as they were ordered to do so. It was also to keep it out of Allied hands. A torpedo slammed into the Bismarck's propeller. Leading to having one, the torpedos were causing damage below. Orders went through and doors were left open since crewmen were being ordered to evacuate the ship.
Bismarck was the last german who yould have changed history, sadly he was to weak. The more the shame Hitler chose that name for his weapon of madness. The more I'm glad it got sunken that ealy. RIP Hood and all british and german soldiers fighting these days. Love this song.
I wish this was in the original film - 3 extra minutes in a 2.5 hour film is no big deal. If they had to cut for time, they could have easily taken a few seconds from each chase scene to make up the difference.
It was meant to be in the movie, but never made it into the final cut. Just know its a thing cause i read about it on Wikipedia when i added Sabatons song about the Bismarck to a relevant article.
The Royal Navy had no choice with these huge powerful battleships and destroyers to carry on the Brittania ruling the waves. Admirable captain scuttling to save his crew's lives.
We better b glad we could build more tanks and ships than the Germans could Because that's the only reason we won.Them Germans were tough, their army and navy.
Complete bollocks. Hood had a heavier weight of Broadside and armour that was not far off Bismarck's Bismarck belt armour = 12.6 inches Hood belt armour = 12 inches Bismarck deck armour = 4 inches Hood deck armour = 3 inches Hood's vertical armour was well upto the standard of contemporary battleships, her weakest aspect was her horizontal deck armour, but Holland had raced to close on Bismarck and had escaped the "danger zone" of plunging fire, only to be then hit by a million to one shot that found an obscure "achilles heel" in her vertical armour. Don't mistake "million to one luck" for anything else.
Ok the Bismarck was scuttled that day, but as a german i am proud of the Bismarck and the heroic battle of the crew! I LOVE the Blues Brothers and this song is a masterpiece just as the Bismarck was!
They actually scuttled a 51000 ton mountain of sinking, flaming scrap metal. All guns silenced, her superstructure devastated, her main armour belt broken in several places along her port side, her command staff obliterated, internally aflame from end to end, her stern and port gunwales already underwater and hundreds of her crew already in the water behind her.... All the scuttling did was to sink her a few minutes earlier than was already happening. In the world of boxing the crew's scuttling efforts are what is known as "throwing in the towel", submission of a boxer when he has been punched senseless by a more powerful opponent, and only a fool would say, "the loser wasn't beaten, he gave in before he was annihilated.", when the truth is the loser had his arse handed to him on a plate.
Lenin said that quantity is itself a quality (better a mass fast production than single masterpieces that costs a lot are slow to be produced and replaced with difficulty)
