This video takes you deep into the dramatic story of the Bismarck—from its construction as Nazi Germany’s most powerful warship to its fateful mission in the North Atlantic during Operation Rheinübung. We explore its devastating clash with the HMS Hood, the relentless Royal Navy pursuit that followed, and the critical torpedo strike that sealed its fate.
You’ll learn how aircraft, codebreakers, and surface ships worked together to take down a vessel once believed to be unsinkable. We also delve into the discovery of the wreck nearly five decades later, revealing what lies beneath the waves and how the Bismarck has become both a historical artifact and a war grave. This is the full story of how Hitler’s “unsinkable” battleship was defeated and now rests silently on the ocean floor.
