As a Pole it's always heart-warming to see some recognition for our efforts during the war, so thank you! And we love you too VTH!

[markusbisma]

By far, the best history react channel on YouTube.

4:40 "the destruction of the largest battleship on Earth"

That's only if you count Yamato and Musashi as their own separate class of super-battleship, which I suppose you could. But they were a solid 50% larger than the Bismarck and Tirpitz.

Much love to Extra History and VTH for this awesome episode :)

Calling any ship "unsinkable" is always the kiss of death.

"They had to sink the Bismarck, the terror of the sea.
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees"

[prshark]

The Polish are an incredible fighting force. I was in Afghanistan with them and when the enemy attacked, the Polish fight incredibly.

[TheDrProf]

Just gotta say, After being on youtube for a long while I really appreciate your vibe. Its like hearing your friend talk about something really cool to them, and thats cool to me baybee

[ZwiekszoneRyzyko]

12:00 as a Polish guy I really thank you for understanding and appreciating our country!

Also a Polish ORP "Piorun" (Thunder) was the one that located Bismarck and drew its fire, while other units of the Royal Navy task force caught up to finally sink the beast. Imagine a small N-class destroyer being able to keep fighting - it's a cool story on its own with some cunning, clever maneuvers and a lot of smokescreen. I wonder if it is there in the further Bismarck story (haven't seen it yet, prefer watching with you) :)

[jean-philippedoyon]

The Justinian, the First Crusade and the Catherine the Great Extra History series are also pretty solid...You got a good one here too !

[MastaChiefa]

Sink the Bismarck was the first war movie I watched and it really cemented my love for naval history.

[ninjamasterbuilder]

Well the Bismarck is about to enter its 80th anniversary of being sunk
Oh and there are 4 parts to this search for the Bismarck

[oKaymano]

By the way you’re workrate is insane !!!! You deserve a medal and pleased to see your channel continue to grow

[ssringo]

For more naval history goodness I'd recommend Montemayor's The Battle of Midway 1942: Told from the Japanese Perspective. It's a long 3 part series but is very interesting and detailed.

[Duality]

Woah man, this is super weird. I was looking yesterday for your reaction to this video and was upset you hadn’t done it yet.
Good shit lol.

[Nate.NecroToast]

I first learned about the Bismarck as a kid from the song "Sink the Bismarck" by Johnny Horton. Definitely some good stuff, man. Thoroughly enjoy your reactions and all the extra info you throw in!

[drrakw]

Pride of a nation, a beast made of steel, Bismarck on motion, king of the ocean! Thanks for posting!

[jasse]

As a Pole, I wholeheartly thank You for your input on our role in history and your warm words. Thank You.

[rebonrjar]

*clears throat* TO LEAD THE WARMACHINE, TO RULE THE WAVES AND LEAD THE KRIEGSMARINE

Anyway, love the reactions always and can't wait for part 2 :D

[chandler]

This is such a good series. Please react all the way through it

[Nabuhodonozor]

I watch your gaming channel since you had like 5k subs. It's great to see your channels grows that much. Keep up good work.
