Secrets of World War II -- The End of the Scharnhorst

Secrets of World War II -- The End of the Scharnhorst
She was faster than any British battleship, but in what was to become known as 'The Battle of the North Cape', the Scharnhorst was about to meet her destiny at the hands of Admiral Fraser in one of the most exciting naval engagements ever.

@MegaProjectpat OK Pat: just managed to roll the wrists over on the cut shot I guess: and Bravo hadn't set a "square leg" thats for sure: hadn't figured on you not returning the ball to the field of play after it crossed the boundary though :-)

@elrjames777 I am posting this comment on every history channel doc. i encounter :D well played james, well played....

@bravo45 There is no logical or military connection whatsoever between Stalin, colonization, evil or morality and "the end of the Scharnhorst", which was occasioned strictly by naval engagement :-)

[elrjames777]

@bravo45 All military channel style productions are, in the final analysis, merely money making entertainments for a target audience. If you find flaws in their presentation please mention them: "I can't post all the stuff" just reads like laziness, and your obvious vitriolic bias hardly lends credibility to your argument :-)

... but you know something is wrong when the biggest (and worst) colonist country joins hands with THE MOST evil dictator EVER (Stalin) and then claim moral high ground.

@elrjames777 I can't post all the stuff which combined makes it what I termed it to be. There should be no reason for that omission, I just mentioned one. There is a pattern with their propaganda and the fact its everywhere makes it hard to spot. I like reason military stuff about WWII, been doing that for years and I only get more and more disgusted. No excuses for the Nazis...

@bravo45 While not mentioning the demise of Hood was a puzzling omission, this hardly constitutes blatant "propaganda": the video did, after all, refer to the British being "caught with their pants down" in relation to 'operation Cerberus', and there was also the allusion to Scharnhorst as a "great ship" :-)
