@andrysky they didn't even sink it, the German captain saw that their ammo was nearly depleted and STILL more reinforcements where coming, so he detonated the remain shells and sank his own ship, so the British wouldn't get it.
@andreysky Hi you arewrong on this account the largest and most powerfull battleship of ww2 was japanese it was yamoto 28inch guns and over 78000 tons it made every body so small
prince of wales was attacked by the bismarck and Gneisenau after when the hms hood was sinkin but the Gneisenau and Bismarck do have not followed the Prince of Wales. bismarck was on a secret mission
You're absolutely wrong. The Tirpitz retained nearly the whole british Norwegian & Arctic sea fleet due to her merely and simple presence until the end of the war and therefore it was the most effective ship of all. The British had a lot of fear of that ship and only could scuttle the ship when the war was almost over and the damaged, worthless ship without protection in a remoted fjord.
@cyberOwwwOecho Because the Royal Navy and Churchill over estimated Bismarck and Tirpitz they should have been happy Germany wasted money, material and men on 2 obsolete battleships If germany had built more U boats instead of these t obsolete white elephants it could have changed the war early in 1941. USN was correct they only kept obsolete pre WW1 BB,s in the atlantic because the Tirpitz was no threat .
@ brentanto Twas it not a man, many of hundreds of years ago that said something along these lines, If it has to be done, then do it quickly !
my apps to Shakespeare I have No doubt that every R N Cpt knew what Bismarck had done to the Hood with 1 shell, and did not want that visited upon themselves, add to that, the possibility of a Wolfpack, narrowing on the Brits.
What damage to the fleet ? Bismarck only engaged 1 ship that was the Hood, which she sunk, soon after it was 1 Old Biplane that crippled the Bismarck so that she could be finished off by HMS Dorchestershire,
Thats certainly shortcutting just how many ships were invilved in the Bidmark hunt and sinking.The Dorchestershire may have put the final torpedo onto Bidmark but that was the end, look up the other ships that fired at her when she was rudderless.
@keirfree actually the Bismarck engaged HMS Prince of Wales during the Hood battle damaging it causing its withdraw and engaged some of the British Destroyers during its last battle before sinking.
@keirfree Children u U.K. are feeded with such shits? He received totally 3 hits by aircraft torpedo. two of them didn't cause any damage, just sprinkled the colour from the hull - Bismarck has been fitted with anti-torpedo line from WOTAN steel. It was just a random that the rudder has been hit. He sank your admiral ship Hood a Pride of Great Britains NAVY with even one shell :)
@teknobug bismarck was built on WW1 design, had incremental vertical armor, weakest broadside of any modern BB, single purpose secondary guns, weak deck and turret armor obsolete 3 engime/3 screws unprorected stern, data and comm lines, weak conning tower armor, badly designed TDS . No STS armor plating to decap incoming rounds small cruising range, main battery optical guided obsolete 4 turrets with 2 guns each compared to moden 3 turrets with 9 guns
@jers59 Thus was the best ship of it's category in Europe. Krupp engines, Siemens guns the solid german quality, with the targeting computer was on the lead. Nothing from GB fleet wasn't comparable to him.
@teknobug Kennedy was wrong! he could only write about what he saw from a distance,
what he did not see was the Deep water survey showing the Hull ripped apart, by torpedo s he did not see the Torpedo found on the deck of Bismark, or the 600 shell holes in her structure.
Bismarck was sunk by gun fire, only because the Cpt of Dorchestershire, would Not allow bismarck to sunk quickly by torpedos read the true life account, By the Pilot that crippled Bismarck, and him being warned off not to sink
@teknobug bismarck in fact any german engineering plant was nightmare that often broke down If HMS Prince Of Wales was fully in commission it would have destroyed the bismarck. Rodney or Nelson were also better BB,s
@teknobug Why don't Fuckwits like you Read, the facts before mouthing off on here with your bullshit account, of this incident.
Bismarck was not hit on the Rudder it Was hit near the aft section where the rudder steering gear was housed. Bismarck had her rudder deployed when hit and could Not alter its position No Swordfish were lost in the Attack.
Bismarck was hit by 4 torpedos 2 from the Swordfish s 2 from Dorchestershire
1 swordfish was found on Deck unexploded, the 2 Torps Cont
Bismarck was hit twice below the waterline and both hits caused bulkheads to rupture allowing sea water to enter causing Bismarck to tilt then capsize,
Not some Bullshit from UK Children, but Facts as told by Kriegsmarine Survivors
who worked in the Boiler spaces, this has been proved in recent surveys of Bismarck
So Fuckwit keep your Bullshit to your self but if you do feel compelled to mouth off, on Y/tube , first Get Fucking Educated
@keirfree yes twice in the hull and once into the rear section. The impact into rudder wasn't direrect, the explosion caused that the rudder has been sided 15 degrees. According to the book Bismarck from Ludovic Kennedy the previous both impacts into hull didn't cause any serios damage.
@keirfree You forgot Blucher sunk on its maiden voyage by norweigean cook and bakers using 50 year old weapons Narvik 10 german destroyers sunk for loss of 2 RN destroyers. April 1940 Scharnhorst and Gneisenau 2 modern german battle cruisers run away from over age RN battle cruiser Renown
@teknobug Where is the bismarck? 2 miles down in the atlantic rusting wreck its huill was ripped apart by torpedoes that caused its sinking the stern fell off at the surface before it sank similar to Prince Eugen when it was torpedo in the stern.The bismarck is the most over inflated warship in history sunk on its first mission its sister tirpitrz only fired her guns at weather station. Come over to the allied side for the big win be with the winners not the losers, kriegsmarine
@jers59 You mean those winners? Hood and Prince of Wales started fire 24.5.1941 at 5:52, Hood (GB admiral flagship) sunk at 5:59. That's the efectiveness and targeting computer on Bismarck. Than you mean Aircraft Carriers Victorious and Ark Royal, HMS King George V, HMS Rodney, HMS Norfolk, HMS Suffolk, HMS Dorsetshire, HMS Maori and 12 destroyers weren't able to sink this battleship and it's hull was nearly intact (4 hits through the armor) so the Krigsmarine have to sunk it on their own.
@teknobug Yes those winners who sunk a WW1 design commerce raider that could not stop 6 obsolete biplanes LOL The RN completly destroyed the bismarck and sunk the wreck in less then 2 hours
@jers59 :) those winner would be only a wreck without USA and Russian Help. GR flag ship was also WW1 design, older than Bismarck sand within 10 minutes :) in a combat 2 vs. 2 not 15 vs. 1, that's the difference.
@teknobug First there is no prff what sank the Hood it could have been cordite explosion similar to what sank IJN Mutsu, second when bismarck fired at Hood and POW only 7% of the shells fired were hits bismarck last battle failed to score any hits also could not hit any of the 6 obsolete biplanes that attacked it. In closing bismarcks gunnery is atrocious The japanese navy were best trained and accurate gunners in 1941-42 and were best axis navy gunners and sailors by far
@jers59 LOL :D:D:D cordite :) the second salvo from Bismarck was a direct hit to POW which escaped heavily damaged. Then Bismarck angled his guns to Hood. And of course cordite sank him ... so old ship, many times proved, many training and combat sails, many times fired from guns, and a shame, when meeted with bismarck cordit sank it :):):) a good tale for UK children. Now say about Battle of Brittan and your victory :):):)

@keirfree these krauts are thicker then the armor surrounding nuclear bomb shelter. The bismarck was completly destroyed was damage beyond repair, was sinking . The Admiral sent the Dorchestershire in to speed up the sinking, the ship was not scuttled by crew. Latest indepth report by Bill Jurens supports this , krauts, bismarck fanatics, neo nazis are biggest cry babies on you tube.
The Bismark and Tirpitz were not able to sink the Royal navy they were built to starv Great Britain to death by sining merchant ships they were to fast to hunt so they had to be delt with before they got out into the open. if Bizmark was skuttled it was because her captain knew her fate was very soon.
yea the british navy got her! however it still remains a fact that the bismark was a force to be recogned with ; and single handedly almost crippled the allies entire navel fleet!!remember people that was only 1 ship that did all that damage.imagine if hitler would have built a dozen more ^^..just a thought :)
tirpitz was great ship? Only fired her guns at weather station then try to hide from allies in norweigean fjord destroyed by RAF in 1944 and it did not take 5 years they were not great ships were obsolete when launched no affect on the war
@jers59 It is enough to have such power to avoid any other conflict. Just like A-bomb or 15000 russian tanks in East Germany during Cold war. You don't have ot use it, it's just there and the enemy have to count with that - same story with Tirpitz, where the part of the GB home fleet have to be in an alert in case that Tirpitz will leave it's harbour.
@teknobug 1 aircraft carrier kept in the atlantic was all that was needed to sink the tirpitz. US Navy was correct only time they sent new BB to atlantic was to train new BB before sending it to the pacific. USS Washington sailed into north atlantic to try to catch tirpitz and destroy it but tirpitz never left fjord to do battle
@jers59 are you kidding?Aircraft carrier with Swordfishes? LOL
You saw the results on Bismarck, how many of them returned and landed? :) Despite the one lucky hit into the rudder they won't done nothing, just sprinkled the colour from the WOTAN steel anti-torpedo line.
@teknobug every swordfish returned because the bismarck was so badly designed and built it could not stop 6 obsolete swordfish biplanes. USS South Dakota at Santa Cruz brand new ship with little training shot down 26 modern japanese carrier based aircraft in 1 battle in 1942
@teknobug All of them returned,they didn't hit the actual rudder rather they damaged the gear that controlled it,luck doesn't come into it because luck doesn't train you pilots that can get unstuck in the weather the Ark Royal was going through or deliver torpedo's on target .
@teknobug It relates to your query as to how many Swordfish made it back from their attack on Bismarck,and a rebuttal of your theory that the hits they scored were a matter of mere luck,in war as in life you make your own luck .
@teknobug 15 Aircraft dropped torpedo's and scored 3 hits one of which proved critical i would say that it a was pretty efficient attack,i guess our definitions of effficiency differ somewhat .
@iroscoe the only reason the Bismark is at the bottom of the ocean is because of that 1 torpedo that knocked out the rudder rendering it completely useless in a really big circle. There was no critical damage other than some rivets buckling but without steering it was good as gone.
I wish hitler would have built 12 bismarcks thats 12 battleships obsolete when launched would have been huge waste of money and material, the kriegsmarine was failure should have built more submarines
@saturday27 Prince of whales didnt fare so well in that engagement either. She disengaged from the battle after recieving 7 large caliber hits that resulted in her weaponry being reduced.
@raven28690 HMS Prince of Wales was brand new ship in training with civilian workmen on board only few of her main battery guns in service and she badly damage bismarck by shelling her hull causing massive fuel oil leakage.
@myships german got they butt lkick by russian on one o one man.. and they lose that war ,,and russian come back to they county and kick they butt too......jajaj
oh dear sorry i seam to rember that she was sunk by the royal navy so tell me were you there? did you see them open the sea cocks and sink her them selvs? and the fact that she was just a burning hulk with no main guns left in action the british couldnt do what propley? sink german ships? lol you lost she was sunk get over it oh and i dont rember seeing must dammage to the rodney or the king george the 5th
The way the Bismark sunk is in somewhat dispute, an expedition by Robert Ballard in 2001 found the Hull of the Bismark intact, which supports the Scuttling theory.
