Schlachtschiff Bismarck

When the German battleship "Bismarck" was put into service in 1940, it was the largest and most powerful war ship the world had ever seen. This strength, however, became a disaster for her, for it was clear to the British that the "Bismarck" had to be prevented by all means from entering the Atlantic. Angus Konstam tells the fascinating story of the "Bismarck", which has long since become a legend, starting with its construction and commissioning of its highly dramatic and tragically ending first journey to the sensational rediscovery of its shipwreck in 1989.
