They Called Bismarck Hitler's Pride — The Royal Navy Ended It In Three Days

#Bismarck #BattleshipBismarck #RoyalNavy The Bismarck was supposed to change the war at sea. Instead, the Royal Navy destroyed Germany's greatest battleship in one of the most dramatic naval hunts in history. After the sinking of HMS Hood, Britain launched a relentless pursuit across the North Atlantic. Battleships, cruisers, destroyers, aircraft carriers, and even the outdated Fairey Swordfish biplane joined the hunt. One torpedo changed everything, trapping the Bismarck and setting the stage for its final battle against HMS Rodney and HMS King George V. In this documentary, we uncover the true story behind Operation Rheinübung, the Battle of the Denmark Strait, the sinking of HMS Hood, the legendary Swordfish torpedo attack, and the final hours of the German battleship Bismarck. We also examine the long-standing debate over whether the Royal Navy sank Bismarck—or whether her own crew scuttled her.

What do you think? If the Swordfish had missed Bismarck's rudder, would the Royal Navy still have caught her before she reached France?
