Hi. Just a bit of trivia about The Tirpitz, since the video briefly mentions that battleship as well. I'm not sure how well known this is outside Norway, so maybe you already know this. You can see the Wreck of The Tirpitz in the streets of Oslo, Norway. Well, sort of... After the war, the wreckage was sold off for scrap metal. The armoured plates of the ship were cut into large sheets and sold to, among others, the Water and Sewage Administration in Oslo and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. To this day, these plates are still being used to cover ditches during road construction whereever there's a need to allow vehicles to cross the ditch. These plates are known as «Tirpitz-plates». The sheets are about 50mm (2 inches) thick. They're available in many different sizes, but an average sized plate weighs in at about 5 metric tonnes (about 11.000 pounds). There's unfortunately also a quite macabre twist to this story. About 900 German soldiers died during the sinking of the Tirpitz. Many of them trapped in the wreckage. These were not brought out of the wreckage before they started dismantling the ship. So, the construction workers that took the ship apart routinely discovered partly decomposing bodies. Something that would, understandibly, traumatize them for years, if not the rest of their lives.

7:27 Actually, the ‘pocket battleships’ you’re thinking of are of the Deutschland-class Panzerschiff (later reclassified heavy cruisers for the sake of simplicity and organisation) Which included Deutschland ( renamed Lutzow for morale reasons) Admiral Graf Spee, and Admiral Scheer. Since 11-inch guns were considered battleship-calibre and they hadvery thick armour for cruiser-sized ships, the British came up with the amusing ‘Pocket Battleship’ monniker The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were proper battleships, the British simply called them battlecruisers because their smaller-than average gun size met the VERY nebulous qualifications for what counted as a battlecruiser. (Since they had the same 283mm guns as the Panzerschiff, but with longer barrels) In reality, the two were originally supposed to have 15-inch guns like Bismarck did, but the turrets to hold them hadn’t been developed yet and were prioritised for the new class instead. Also, if you like this more detailed and tactical look at the battles, I HIGHLY reccomend Montemayor’s videos on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, Wake Island, and Savo Island, rather uniquely for most such content, he does most of it from the Japanese perspective.

The Kriegsmarine referred to US Liberty Ships as "Hydras of the North Atlantic - for every one we managed to sink, the Americans built two more." Though not entirely accurate (the US built just over 5600 merchant ships to support Great Britain and German U-boats sunk around 3500), the fact that we were building them so fast (30 days construction on average - the fastest built in 4.6 days) with 12 to 18 under construction at any given moment (averaging one new ship every two days) justified that perception.

I would to like to point out all this emphasis that is put on the on the Battle of Atlantic and how much the U boats disrupted supplies from reaching Britain. What is not often heard about is in the Battle of the Pacific, just how much shipping the United States sunk of japanese merchant convoys. By the end of the war, the US was intercepting and destroying 95% of cargo going to and from Japan. While you could argue the Germans sunk way more ships than the Americans did the overall effect of Unrestricted submarine warfare on Japan brought the country on the verge of starvation. Nothing compared to what the Germans were able to do to The UK

7:30 the Scharnhorst-class were classified by the Germans as battleships, although some do call them as battlecruisers (i kinda think it's because of their 11" guns). The term pocket battleships by the British refers to the Deutschland class cruisers, which were originally classified by the Germans as panzerschiffe, but got reclassified as heavy cruisers. The Deutschlands have 11" guns as well.

Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were battleships. When Bismarck and Tirpitz were laid down, the Kriegsmarine called them "Small Battleships", they they were in line with the german WWI BCs. "Pocket Battleship" was the nicknamed for the Deutschland-class Panzerschiff, later reclassified to Heavy Cruiser. 19:36 "Feuererlaubnis"... not quite... Kapitän Ernst Lindemann gave the order, not Lütjens, and it was phrased as follows "Ich lasse mir doch nicht mein Schiff unter dem Arsch wegschießen. Feuererlaubnis!" (I'm not letting my ship get shot out from under my arse. Open fire!) Btw. imagine had Bismarck went with Tirpitz AND Prinz Eugen, with Gneisenau And Scharnhorst ready to meet up with them.

I think the most important piece of evidence about how the Hood was destroyed was found during the expedition where they confirmed that Hood had been turning when hit. This exonerated Holland who, for decades had had a cloud over his name in doubting the tactics he chose. This was convenient for obscuring the lack of investment in ensuring her deck armour had been completely upgraded. Holland knew what he was doing and the memory of a brave man and his men, who laid down their lives for their King and Country was restored.

He was most likely thinking of the Deustchland class which is where the term Pocket Battleship was used. Also while they did prepare Gneisenau by removing her old turrets, it was ultimately cancelled in the light of failure of the Surface Raiders at Barents Sea so Hitler ordered all work be canceled before the new turrets were installed.

Was told stories by my grandma not only about the Austrått " cannon " but the war in general. And the tours we got to have there back in school. We were on the inside of it. Cramped and the shells were well over 1 m.

Around 7:25 you say that Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were "pocket battleships" (panzerschiffe). They weren't. The three panzerschiffe were Deutschland (later renamed Lutzow), Admiral Scheer, and Admiral Graf Spee. They were ordered under the Weimar Republic and were nominally compliant with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, although Scheer and Graf Spee were completed after the Nazis took power so you can imagine how that went. They were a little over 10,000 tons displacement, so roughly the size of a Washington Treaty heavy cruiser and smaller than Prinz Eugen, and were armed with 6-11" guns, had maximum belt armour of 80mm, and had diesel engines giving them a maximum speed of 28 knots, meaning that they were the slowest modern ships in the German navy. Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were the first capital ships ordered after the Nazis had come to power. They were 32,600 tons standard displacement, which made them much closer in size to battleships such as King George V (38 360 tons light load) or Bismarck (41,000 tons standard displacement) than to heavy cruisers. They had 9-11" guns, which sometimes confuses people because this is similar to the 6-11" guns of the pocket battleships, but the reason for this was that German industry could not quickly redevelop the ability to build naval guns heavier than 11", leaving the German navy with the choice between building battleships with 11" guns or not building battleships at all. The difference between them and the panzerschiffe can be most dramatically seen in their maximum belt armour of 350mm, compared to the panzerschiffes' 80mm and the Bismarck's 320mm. They also had 31 knots speed, compared to the Bismarck's 30 knots and the panzerschiffes' 28. You could put these ships in a line of battle with Bismarck and Tirpitz without worrying about them promptly sinking and without forcing Bismarck to slow down to let them keep up, although, compared to Bismarck, they wouldn't hit other battleships very hard.

I thought pocket battleships were the British nickname given to Deutschland-class heavy cruisers

That's correct. I kinda stumbled on that one and thought I clarified by saying they were sometimes considered Pocket Battleships---er...Battlecruisers. But yes, you're right.

As a German speaker, I would also say "DIE Bismarck" (female definite article), rather than "der Bismark" (male definite article)

Is it true that Hitler was against sending the ships out as he did not want to lose them and the Admirals sent the ships out anyway and only told him later

Hi...another great video...but I have to quibble with you about one thing. Yes, the Battle of the Atlantic was a monumental struggle, and one of the most important battles that the Allies had to win...but you should not really talk about how many ships were sunk without talking about the fact that the Germans were rarely able to sink more tonnage than the Allies were building. In total, the Germans sank 21 million tons of ships, but the Allies built over 38 million tons of shipping. When Germany was only dealing with British shipping before December of 1941, they needed to sink 300,000 tons per month to be "winning", but they only achieved this in 4 of the first 27 months of the war. After December of 1941, Germany needed to sink 700,000 tons per month to reduce the total pool of Allied shipping, which they only did once. Once America was committed to keeping the the supply lines open, the Germans had almost no chance of successfully cutting them enough to actually win...even during the Hunt for the Bismark, the convoys continued to sail and the supplies continued to flow. I just think it is important to balance the hyperbolic numbers of ships sunk with the reality of the mountainous pile of shipping left that Germany had to sink to win, and that their chances of doing so were exceedingly small. 🖖💯✌

That's true, but this is also due the success of Bletchley Park in breaking the Enigma. As you say, they were only able to sink over 700,000 tons per month in a short period. This started when they upgraded the Enigma encryption, and Bletchley Park was unable to decrypt it for a few months. Once they were able to decrypt the messages again, shipping losses sank drastically. It's briefly mentioned in this video about the Colossus: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWPXfpaDhtaGmKM

@@trondmm True, but once America joined, there was no way the Germans could keep up. If the Allies had not had as much success breaking German codes, the victory would have taken longer, but it still would have come. Small or no consolation to those additional people killed due to the war lasting longer, but with the USSR, Great Britain, and the USA arrayed against them, Germany had exceedingly small odds to achieve any kind of victory in WW2. 💯✌
