Battleship Tirpitz: Sinking of Nazi Germany's Largest Battleship - Animated (ALL PARTS)

The battleship Tirpitz, Germany’s largest and warship of WWII, was an enormous threat to Allied naval operations. In response, the Allies launched multiple missions that led to its destruction: Operation Source, Tungsten, and Catechism. Each mission played a crucial role in neutralizing the Tirpitz, as the battleship proved very difficult to sink...

[@warwarneverchanges4937]

Its amazing how long the Brittish managed to hold her in port, from sep 43 to the end of the war, those German sailors culd serve almost 2 years stuck deep in a fjord some sailors might have been replacements getting to the ship by train and never even got to set sails more than a few towed km.

[@hisdadjames4876]

Amazing, indeed. Funnily enough, though, maybe Tirpitz achieved more as a ‘Fleet in Being’ in those fjords than she might have as a ship at sea. She was a huge and resource-consuming ‘distraction’ for the RN and the RAF all that time😂

[@DoddyIshamel]

​@hisdadjames4876 Fortunately Germant didn't really have anything to take advantage of the distraction. Fleet in being is kind of redundant if it doesn't kead to something.

[@fezparker2401]

[@williamtell5365]

I'd suggest it was not so much Britain's "accomplishment" as it was a decision by the Germans to do that.

[@xenoamen]

Currently the mini-sub X-7's bow and partial battery section are on display at Imperial War Museum Duxford, having been pulled out of Tirpitz's former fjord in 1976. The British Sub Aqua Club was attempting to find X-5 at the time, so X-7 came as a surprise. Her stern was never found because the Germans had already raised that section up after the initial attack. X-24 is the only full example of an X-Craft around, and she even has a list of achievements regarding attacks on merchant shipping.

[@jadams3427]

Interesting that you say Tirpitz was under way during the strikes of Op. Tungsten. I have not heard this before. I have the Admiralty report and it does not mention this. Also, I have information that the approach for the attack was further south. You can find pictures of the Barracudas with Långfjord in the background off their port side. Then they turned left around the mountain called Haalde, and made their final runs in a NE direction. I have interest in this, because V. Rance (second strike leader) was my grandfather, but now, by complete coincidence I give some small help on a PR.IV Spitfire restoration. It was one of eleven loaned to a Russian unit, ORAP 118, to spy on the Tirpitz and other assets up there.

[@omutvtube3910]

Germany may well have won the war had they just had 3-4 aircraft carriers. Especially in the Mediterranean. Africa was lost largely because of lack of fuel and ammo and supplies the Allies intercepted or destroyed. Those mobile aircraft could have made a huge difference. They could have destroyed allied supplies instead of having their supplies destroyed. Let’s all be glad they didn’t have carriers.

[@TonyChan-eh3nz]

1. It's Hermann Göring we are talking about here. He's going to find some way to screw up the planes(and he did with the whole Graf zeppelin debacle) 2. If Germany went and built these carriers instead of battleships, the royal navy would also respond in kind, defeating any advantage. 3. Even if Africa fell, and even if operation torch didn't happen/failed, it wouldn't have changed anything. D-Day, the soviets, and nuclear weapons would have won the war for the allies.

[@jarryan2136]

[@robwernet9609]

Nazi Germanys naval doctrine was flawed out of being overly cautious and out right scared of the British fleet. I still believe they'd of done much much better by finishing their carrier (which was 80 percent finished) and assembling a task force like you saw in allied fleets. Combine all that armor and firepower instead of sending it out piecemeal to be destroyed. If they'd captured the French fleet, it'd have helped them considerably. Just bc they didn't, did not mean their small fleet was worthless, although Hitler seemed to think so.

[@TheRambunctious]

They would have never captured the French fleet. Even if the British hadn't sunk it, the French would have sunk it themselves, like when the Germans dissolved VIchy France and tried to seize it. And even if the Germans had completed their carrier, they had no planes suitable for naval operations and no chance in hell of dislodging the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy is also why a land invasion of the UK was always impossible

[@lejenddairy]

They wasted their time building a surface fleet. One carrier wouldn’t have given them a chance against the allies. They would have faired better if they had built more subs instead of surface ships.

[@greenflagracing7067]

a single carrier would have been of marginal I mean no use. that class would have had an air group (only 12 fighters) slightly larger than a CVL and less than half of an Essex CV.

[@NeoFromMatrix123-b1v]

I finally understand 1 of the reasons why the Tirpitz was kept off the coast of Norway, as it was providing protection for the heavy-water reactor in Norway. It's also why the British tried to sink it via 26 attempts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_battleship_Tirpitz en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_heavy_water_sabotage en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Allied_attacks_on_the_German_battleship_Tirpitz

@@jimjacobs2817 Well… She sank at a very shallow depth, and her hull was sticking up out of the water; they cut holes in the hull and saved the sailors that survived the capsizing. I think they recovered the bodies of the deceased sailors and shipped them to Germany. But as far as the wreck goes, not many people in post-war Norway were particularly sentimental about a sunken warship of the Third Reich.

To all who replied. Thanks for your feedback. It's kind of sad (for me) that there is a kind of disrespect of the dead, but I totally get why the Norwegians (and others) feel that absolute justified contempt toward the Nazis.

[@kinggeorgewows9695]

This video is riddled with factually incorrect information and fallacies, and I am less than 5 minutes into the video. Firstly, Tirpitz wasn’t the only remaining Kreigsmarine battleship after Bismarcks destruction, both Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were fully operational and would conduct the Channel Dash back into German waters the following year. Secondly, the Bismarcks were not “Super Battleships” by any means. That is a propaganda term that is factually inaccurate as neither of the Bismarcks possessed superior armor or firepower to the vast majority of their contemporaries, and displaced significantly more due to their poor design and engineering inefficiency of German naval construction derived from both having fallen behind in experience due to the Versailles restrictions on the German navy. Finally, the Deutschlands were NOT “pocket battleships”, that is a inaccurate British media term that in not way characterized the capabilities of the Deutschlands (they are heavily armed heavy cruisers with extremely poor protection and speed, less capable that many treaty cruisers of half the displacement). …..and all of this is after watching 4:40 of the video. Zero attention to detail and a false accounting of the historical facts. Just terrible.
