Bismarck - Battle of the Atlantic - Sabaton History 012 [Official]

Despite restrictions that were put on the German navy after the Treaty of Versailles, the Kriegsmarine rebuilt in the 1930s with one goal: to be bigger and better than ever. Two powerful Bismarck-class battleships formed the pinnacle of the German naval warship production. When the British caught wind that the Bismarck was out in the open in May 1941, they in turn formulated a goal of their own: to take it down for once and for all. The Sabaton song 'Bismarck' sings about the chase, the battle in the Atlantic and consequent fate of the Bismarck.

[@moritamikamikara3879]

Bismarck was virtually unsinkable though. The final confrontation lasted over two hours of being constantly shelled and the fucker didn't sink. Dorsetshire poured a number of torpedos into her. Did not care. She had to be scuttled by her crew to prevent the ship from being captured by Britain (Not that it was going to. The order "Sink the Bismarck" has 1 operative word.")

[@adrastos8401]

It did go well a few times, the HMS Victory, launched in 1765 was considered unsinkable, It is still intact in drydock despite being bombed by the Luftwaffe in 1941, and there is talk of restoring her to seeworthiness. The USS Constitution launched in 1797 was also considered unbeatable (though this one may be an after the fact designation, than an at the time designation) and is still a commisioned warship in the US Nvy.

[@Otokichi786]

Another video about Force Z had something interesting to report. The HMS Prince of Wales was hit by a torpedo that damaged one of the propeller shafts. The out of control oscillations broke seals and the ship began to take on tons of water. The ship also slowed down such that it wasn't able to dodge/comb torpedoes. The battleship admirals of all navies learned (if they didn't already know) that ships without air cover were little more than expensive bathtub toys. The ignominious end of the Yamato at the hands of numerous aircraft in 1945 was "Billy Mitchell's revenge" on battleships.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Bismarck the battleship? I thought not, its not a story the Royal Navy would tell you.. Its a german legend, Bismarck was the heaviest battleship in the Kriegsmarine, so armoured and so deadly, he could use his guns to influence the 38 cm shells to burn enemy ships. He had such an unnecessary amount of armour that he could even keep the ones who crewed him from dying. The german naval design is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so armoured and heavy, the only thing he was afraid of was destroying his rudder controls and oil tanks, which eventually of course he did. Ironic, he could save others from damage, but not himself.

@Jure Herman His way of saying it was vague, it was more guided towards suggesting that the Bismarck was the largest battleship, by saying first "Germany's Bismarck" and then adding the part about it being the biggest

[@bwan13]

Nobody knew Yamato or Musashi existed until well after Bismarck sank. "The United States' Office of Naval Intelligence only became aware of Yamato and Musashi by name in late 1942."

[@Chrinik]

Everyone posts this...to which unfortunately nobody ever checks the commissioning dates and regions. Bismarck was the biggest Battleship: A: Ever build at the time it was in operation. B: Ever build in Europe. So the sentiment can still stand, even if Yamato was redonculous thicc boi. Yamato and Musashi WERE larger, but were put into service at the END of 1941, when Bismarck was already sunk. They also got laid down quite a bit later, so for a while, Bismarck and Tirpitz were indeed the largest battleships ever...

@@car_rar Is and is not, I´ve found Sabaton is way bigger in Europe for logical history reasons and not so much in the US, part of this is because is wrongly labeled as "power metal" wich must definetly isn´t and from that moment on other subgenre enthusiats just look away, you might be right about the thing of lyric context except most of the world do not speak english, if you are in the US obviously yes, but not the rest of the world, however Metallica and Megadeth are far bigger than Sabaton and they speak english, but they are shoved down our throats (thankfully, no complains) by american culture over the world (again, no real complains), while european culture and therefore metal european culture remains "hidden" for the US and the rest of the world, including Sabaton. In my personal experience, people that i have played Sabaton for love the band and get interesed, but here in Guatemala we speak shit of english, yet people fall in love with the band even though they hate when i play them overkill. Even i, wich understand, speak and read english fairly well did not pay attention to Sabaton´s lyricis until way after i got in love with their music. However is just speculation from my part and personal experience.

[@TallboyDave]

Not sure if you heard about this; but from what I understand, Tovey and the Admiralty actually considered the Bismarck using the Denmark Strait as being a low probability, which was why Hood and Prince of Wales were dispatched to guard that area; Hood was by that point in desperate need of a major refit, and Prince of Wales was rushed into service to escort Hood; she still had men from the Cammell Laird dockyards working on her when she sailed, and was also still suffering problems with the main weakness of the King George V-class battleships; the A and X turrets constantly malfunctioned due to having to mount four guns in them.

[@leechowning2712]

Worse, they had nearly 24 hours warning, as station X identified nearly a dozen radio transmitters transmitting in naval code (not yet broken at this point), and advised military intell that a large operation was underway, most likely in the D.S, and to advise ships in the area. It was decided that there was not sufficient evidence, so the warning was not transmitted.

Interesting fact: Sabaton is the second band to have a song about the Bismarck, cuz in 1960 through Columbia Records Johnny Horton wrote and sung the original version of sink the Bismarck.

[@KefKedes]

It feels good to hear the story of the good old Bismarck once more and the battle all around it. Sabaton and Wargaming did some great teamwork together to bring this story back alive. There should be more bands doing this and Sabaton is an good example to that !

[@penkagenova7073]

@yeoldebiggetee OK but forget the firepower take it for what the german used it for. They didn't use it they just made it anti torpedo nets around the ship, smoke screen to hide it from RAF bombers and everyone including the british knew that the tirpitz was never going in any battle but wasted more and more bombs and planes

Imagine getting sunk by a bloody biplane This post made by Swordfish gang

[@theodorkorner1497]

They actually didn't sunk the ship. It was probably sunk by it's own crew after it got a torpedo hit at the rudder and got enclosed by British ships.

They DIDN'T get sunk by a bloody biplane. The Bismarck was sunk by torpedoes launched from HMS Dorsetshire, a British cruiser. The torpedo dropped from one of the Ark Royal's swordfish (and a lucky thing it was) partially damaged the Bismarck's rudder. It was partially jammed so the ship couldn't turn left. The chase to sink the Bismarck was on and He was finally caught a week later by the HMS King George V and the HMS Rodney. The King George V and the Rodney didn't stand a chance of killing Bismark, but did spend the night harassing Him until the next day when the bulk of the British surface fleet arrived to take up the fight.

[@depsydawn9206]

@ Prince George? Isn't it King George the V? Or are you referring to Prince of Wales? Because I don't recall the royal navy at that time that was named Prince George

@Jure Herman If the Swordfish hadn´t hit the Bismarck´s rudder, those battleships and cruisers wouldn´t have catched her

[@raulalexandrubota]

It was just luck that the torp hit where it did same with the shell that sealed HOOD's fate. And in the last battle Bismarck already sufered damege to the rudder the radar and all the water he took in + he was alone and attacked from multiple directions, the other were combat ready.

[@RepairCat]

Jure Herman I don‘t doubt that, but saying the battleships alone defeated the Bismarck is just incorrect.

[@RepairCat]

Jure Herman That‘s not what i said. I said the Swordfishes enabled the fleet to catch the Bismarck. They had no hope of doing so without the jammed rudder.
