As a German, I'd say that the german sounds more like dutch than german, and it's great.

In my opinion, it's somewhat distracting, because I want to listen to it, but it's just gibberish that almost *might* mean the things that are in the subtitles. I kind of have to make an effort to not listen to it and just read.

During the actual hunt for the Bismarck a squadron of Swordfish torpedo bombers did mistake a British cruiser as the Bismarck.

The bombers returned to the carrier to rearm, this time with conventional contact detonators, before launching a new attack against the actual Bismarck.

Surviving 3 Fritz-X anti ship missiles and being the first to provide fire support on d day to the point it needed barrel replacement after firing so much at germans GRANTED it may or may not have had a history of ramming things... friendly ships.... cruise liner...mines....a rock..
