The song is about success, death and glory of German battleship Bismarck.
For better understanding of the song I made this lyrics video of Sabaton´s song Bismarck.

K/M Bismarck was one of the most powerful battleships in the world. Construction started 1st of July 1936 and was launched on 14 th of February 1939. He featured powerful armor but the basis slightly resembled that of a heavy cruiser in terms of speed and shape of the hull. He had 4 gun turrets each armed with twin 380 mm SK C/34 naval guns which made him a serious foe to almost any ship of that time.
He fought in the battle of Denmark strait (along with heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen) where he sunk the pride of British Navy, HMS Hood leaving only 3 survivors. That was his first and only naval victory.
Shortly after Hood had sunk, British Admiralty had dispatched almost all available ships in pursuit of Bismarck.
On 26th of May Bismarck was noticed by british Catalina scout plane and later that evening British launched an air torpedo attack against Bismarck which was a success. Ship´s rudder was damaged and disabled for good so Bismarck couldn´t manouver and didn´t stand a chance.
He sunk on 27th of May 1941 after a short and bloody fight against many British destroyers, battleships, battlecruisers etc. 1.995 of 2200 souls were lost.
All rights go to respective author of the song, Sabaton.
I do not own this song.
