Launched on 14 February 1939, the German flagship and pride of the Kriegsmarine, Bismarck was launched. In the darkness of the early morning of the 19 May 1941, Bismarck slipped out of harbour on the Baltic coast and started making its way on its maiden voyage, Operation Rheinubung. The German Navy High Command's plan was to disrupt and attack Allied merchant shipping, to starve Britain of precious materials and food. Prinz Eugen (the ship accompanying Bismarck) had a film crew on board - Bismarck’s first action was going to be filmed. Desperate to protect its Atlantic trade routes, the admiralty of the Royal Navy sent her best battleships, including the mighty HMS Hood to intercept the German sortie and sink Bismarck.

This is a definitive account of the Royal Navy's ultimate success in sinking the Bismarck.

Featuring Andrew Choong, curator at the National Maritime Museum, naval historian Nick Hewitt and Angus Konstam, author of 'Hunt the Bismarck'. Presented by Dan Snow.

Brilliant documentary, and amazing to see ones of this quality on YouTube considering they hardly get a look in on TV.

"Then you have problems"... understatement of the century. Gotta love British stoicism.

I especially like the fact that the decryption also is mentioned, as that has often been missed in this epic story.

That German Videography during the battle with Hood is nothing shy of completely fascinating and completly bleak. Seeing the flashes and realising 2 tons per shell of metal is flying towards you. That would be enough to put the shits up anyone and how all those crewman could be so brave like that is nothing short of completely courageous.

I've been watching documentaries about the sinking of the Bismarck for a long time. Yup, I'm old. This is epic on top of epic. The ferocity. Kids who became people like my grandparents. On giant boats with massive guns. It's hard to get my head around. Absolutely fearless.

Thank you for the reminder of the thin threads that have kept us from oblivion, and the courage of the unsure yet determined young fighters who have pulled those threads to bring us to where we are.
