The Bismarck never attacked a single convey. It's orders were to find and attack convoys.

[tsr]

Royal Navy Swordfish aircraft jammed the steering mechanism with torpedoes ! Then the cruisers finished it off.

Never attacked a convoy. Another case of police profiling gone wrong.

[stevenbaer]

Actually the Bismarck was NOT attacking was the purpose of the mission but it never encountered a convoy to attack.

[Youtubechannel-pocz]

The state of the art Bismarck was crippled by slow moving swordfish biplanes armed with torpedoes.

[doncarsley]

It didn't just sink! It was HAMMERED into the bottom of the ocean. Almost no survivors

You might wanna read a bit deeper into the subject. There is no mention of Polish ORP Piorun ship tasked to find Bismarck together with other few ships. Poles engaged Bismarck for 2hours. One salvo from Bismarck could send Piorun to the bottom, but Poles didn't care and under heavy fire Commodore Plawski was guiding heavier HMShips allowing them to find Bismarck and destroy. Piorun's guns were only 120mm and they couldn't harm Bismarck.

I see this clip has a few inaccuracies... I'll add one.

Bismarck didn't explode. Its corpse on the northern Atlantic sea floor can vouche for that. Looking near pristine condition and upright, all be it a little worse for ware having capsized, sank, and traveled to the bottom in 10 minutes.

James Cameron does a documentary on it.

[Sirderpingtonthefirst]

Bismarck was actually scuttled before the Royal Navy could sink her

[nova_zm]

Funny how swordfishes could go up against over 50 guns firing at them Al varying in caliber such as 40mm Bofors 20mm Auto cannons and 5 Inch Guns

[thomaslawrence]

this commentary is completely wrong. get your facts right!!

[cyrussalinasal]

It's not actually just 3 ships there's a lot of them 2 aircraft carrier 6 battleship and battle cruisers 12 cruisers and tones of destroyers hut Bismarck

[Elaynebrant]

There's a song about the Bizmark. The song about the Big B was sung in the 50s after it was sunk. Can't remember the actual singers name. I think it was Johnny Horton. He sung a few songs about war and surviving it. Like the war in 1814 and the Louisiana purchase about the rebels. The Edmund Fitzgerald was a ship that was in the great lakes. It was a cargo/fishing which took odd jobs between really good paying jobs. I read too much.

The only thing hood intercepted was a 15 inch projectile in its magazine.

[GhostOfDamned]

A plane made from curtain rails and chopped carpet: *you talking mad shit for a ship in torpedo distance*

[David-ejzr]

It ŵas a canadian pilot who dropped a torpedo that hit the rudder

[rexcramer]

I thought the Bismark alreasy had a malfunction in its steering mechanism which was not addressed after its maiden voyage.

[TheFlyWahine]

Saw someware that bismarks armor was to good for the guns that was shooting at it? But bismark wasent sunk, she was scuttled and is laying on the botom of the ocian in perfect condition.

[oscarmandreza]

Still a savage world to live until now. So sad

This video is so full of inaccuracies that the maker should delete it and apologize.
