Those sentiments were quite usual on both sides. I read a book written by a Bismark survivor, describing getting up and out of that ship, and being rescued. Terrible experience, and there were few of them. Improved sound is good, but these films should be computer enhanced.

KMS Bismark was a most beautiful ship of war. Please pause and consider the 2000+ mostly young men who perished with her along with the courageous 1415 Royal Navy sailors who went down with HMS Hood. May they all Rest in Peace. Each in his own way fighting for his Fatherland and Motherland.

My Mother died in Jan uary 2012 and she was probably one of the last people alive to have seen HMS Hood for real. She said it was when she was a little girl in 1937, for the Coronation (George VI) and she was lined up in full regalia - my Mum's family went out in a boat to go and look at all the warships lined up there on parade. She always said that HMS Hood was an amazingly beautiful ship compared to the rest, like a gazelle amongst a herd of warthogs.

Inspite of NO other RN ships being in the vicinity the German admiral Wilhelm Marschall, failed to make even the most rudimentary rescue efforts, instead sailing off leaving 1600 RN sailors to die in those frigid northern waters.

@graemegeddes3987 6 месяцев назад

Mmm except the Swordfish and the spitfire both came off the drawing boards in the same year. 1935. The Spitfire, quite rightly was a high priority and given the best engine available at the time. The Swordfish, designed under RAF control of resources and designs, was so low on the priority list, it was given an engine a fraction of the power of the Spitfires Merlin. Nevertheless it is often forgotten that this is a period of transition, from biplane to monoplane. The Biplane was still a potent fighter aircraft and used in the Battle of Britain and at the time was the front line aircraft of the US navies strike and fighter aircraft. So it really wasn’t WW1 technology, as I can’t think of a WW1 aircraft that could lift a heavy torpedo into the air from a flight deck and indeed later use rockets against both tanks and submarines as well as carrying radar when attacking Bismarck.

By about the four-minute mark Bismarck already appears to be slightly down at the bows. I think she had already been struck there by a shell from Prince of Wales, leading to the loss of fuel and the oil slick that were to contribute to her demise.

@daneelolivaw602 Месяц назад

Bismarck was down at the bows, you are right, it was because of damage inflicted by POW, the bow was down by two or three degrees, this hit was at about the water line, went through two fuel tanks and out the other side of the ship without exploding. Another hit by POW destroyed No2 boiler room, and caused some flooding, there was also a list to port of nine degrees, and the starboard propeller was coming out of the water, counterflooding aft was ordered to try to restore trim. HMS Prince of Wales Never gets the recognition she deserves in the role she played in the destruction of Bismarck.

@soultraveller5027 2 года назад

Bismarck and HMS hood has thoroughly been documented and Bismarck last hours in its life and crew she Recived a frightful close range pounding of her upper works By HMS Rodney main 16 inch guns and her escort ships at the time Rodeny was low on fuel when Bismarck was sighted and wanted to close and end the battle as quickly as possible. At the end hardly anything was left of Bismarck superstructure it had been swept away. Because of the close range a lot of Rodney shells some past through Bismarck side armour into the hull so the destruction was unmanageable So this was the deciding factor if Rodney had the fuel she would have struck with plunging fire the most effective method of penetrating battleship armour engagement and hitting something vital the heavy /light Cruisers accompanying. Rodney. We're ordered to in with Torpedoes to finish her off but according to the Germans they sank the ship by opening the ships sealocks with all that horrific destruction and carnage in the ship going on the uppermost thought by the germans was not to let the English captured the ship amazing. at least the crew HMS hood demise was mercifully. Quick

@jom4752 7 месяцев назад

Might also add. It was customary for the German command to “better” destroy ships and equipment then let it fall in the hands of the enemy. As James Cameron points out the torpedo belt served it purpose and the ship super structure was very much intact. As a result, this ship was never going to be sunk by normal means. So the surviving crew scuttled the ship.

@soultraveller5027 7 месяцев назад

@@jom4752Might add also for the record , James Cameron dive on Bismarck was not fully ""investigated"" i.e the true extent of the damage to the ships hull and side armour belt facing HMS Rodney 16 inch guns Bismarck keel when she went down was deep set in the sea floor, so according to Cameron himself didn't see the important areas of the lower section of the ships hull there was some penetration observed in some parts along the length of her exposed hull one can only assume these were 16"" shells from Rodney smashing through at that close range as far as torpedo damage is concerned none was visible to the camera so in his interview on the documentary he concludes his investigation was only half completed , whether Bismarck was sunk by British torpedoes or ""helped"" along the way or the Germans sank the ship by there hands alone is not fully conclusive and will probably never know.for sure...!

@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 10 месяцев назад

@Military._History Just to correct your statement, HMS Hood did not have a "sister ship" she was the SOLE member of the "Admiral class", the other 3 ships of the class were never started as the might of the RN was such that they weren't deemed necessary, and the materials reserved for their construction was therefore redirected to the building of merchant ships. I assume you're talking about the RN battlecruiser losses at Jutland in 1916. The battlecruisers lost at Jutland resembled HMS Hood in the same manner that a Jaguar "E type" resembles a Koenigsegg Gamera.

Yes Sir I believe so tho the author doesn’t explain that. Footage at the end likely from a British destroyer. Earlier footage of Bismarck vs. Hood shot from Prinz Eugan.

Bismarck has to be the most beautiful l but deadly battleship ever.

@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 2 месяца назад

"most deadly"? It landed a single million to one hit and was then ripped apart.

@wesleynash2598 Месяц назад

Deadly to.merchant shipping and the British navy... she didn't maneuver good and nearly impossible to hide it tried to hide in the Denmark straight and was seen not long after And had anti aircraft guns that was not designed to target slow ww1 biplanes which made a very one in a million lucky shot jamming the rudder slowing it down for British navy to sink it

@@wesleynash2598 The Fleet Air Arm had scored a similar "million to one shot" just 2 months earlier at the battle of Cape Matapan. Putting a torpedo into the propellers of the Italian battleship Vittorio Veneto. The stern of a battleship was THE known no.1 target for a torpedo bomber, as the majority of a modern battleship's hull was protected by "torpedo defence systems" (TDS) Which basically had a variety of voids & liquid tanks (fuel, boiler feed water etc) outboard of a secondary internal bulkhead. The bow and stern of a ship had insufficient internal volume to hold such a TDS, and so were always the most vulnerable points for a torpedo to impact. The RN was also victim to a torpedo stern hit when HMS Prince of Wales was sunk due to one in Dec 1941.

@@wesleynash2598 "Deadly to merchant shipping and the" ROYAL NAVY, really? it didn't sink a single ounce of merchant shipping, and scored a million to one chance on HOOD, and after that battle with HOOD and Prince of Wales, it did not hit another RN ship, not one.

Somehow every Bolt Thrower stuff (in this case, i would go with "When Cannons Fade" goes much better with WWII videos than any Sabaton song.

@therightarmofthefreeworld4703 Год назад

Perhaps because Sabaton are shit and Bolt Thrower are great.

The Bismarck warmachine was sunk after EIGHT days at sea, 8 days.

One British seaman said there is a bond among all naval men which transcends nationality; he felt for the Germans going down, thought of them more as fellow seamen than the enemy.
