After hundreds of books and articles mystery still haunts Bismarck: was the central fire direction/ control room above the main armor deck? Was it hit in the final battle? How many shells were fired by the Bismarck and why was the Bismarck silenced so quick? Were both rudders damaged by the torpedo? What was the exact painting scheme in the final battle? Why didn't Bismarck hit his adversaries?
Was the armor scheme outdated or just right for its final battle?

My Father told me stories of seeing the HMS Hood In the Grand Harbour Malta and I have always had a great interest in her and The Bismark. This is a great site keep up the good work.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

I am the son of an officer on the Dorsetshire who was an eye witness to captain Martin's decision to abandon his convoy and join the attack on Bismarck. He received no order to join, it was his initiative.

Wir kommen von der Schattenseite des Lebens in das helle Licht der Ewigkeit. Wir werden mitten in das Leben hinein geführt. Ohne Weihnachten wäre unser Herz eine finstere Kammer ohne Trost. Jesus kommt in unsere Nacht, damit wir in sein Licht kommen können. So kann aus Zwietracht Frieden werden. Wer sein Herz an Jesus verliert, der hat das Leben gewonnen, er ist heil geworden. Wer zur Krippe geht, kehrt als Beschenkter zurück. Er ist angesteckt, damit der Glaube nicht mehr auf Sparflamme brennt.

A wonderful side. All fallen sailers of Bismarck and Hood should rest in peace, and all who survived are fortunes of war. The fate of those two ships should tell us how awful war is and how cruel mankind can be. I´m interested of Bismarck, because I´m in the filmbusiness (only a little fish, now), but I want to write a screenbook about "Operation Rheinuebung", and it will be more, maybe. Carry on! Brilliant side!

I just just come into possession of many approx 50 photos from ww2. These are RAF operational photos with dates and what not. all aerial. Included in this group of photos are photos of the Prinz Eugen, The Devonshire, Nurnberg etc. all on or around the dates of 26May45. Surely it is the Prinz on its way to dry dock. Anyone interested in these real photos they are still in the original cardboard folder with operational photos written on the front. Most photos are stamped as well. Email if you have any interest or questions.

The Bismarck is my favorite ship of the era, her sister ship runs a close second. A Suppurb design. I play war games, I always play the German side. Far better equipment. I've been tring to find the blueprints of the bismarck, because I want to build a 12ft version of her. Can someone help me get a set.

what an impressive history that even goes as far as the south pacific region history and today so many half-cast Pacific-German's descdendants from the Kaiser during the 1850s reign prior to the British Empire in the Pacific at the same time there is a lot to be said especially in today's world situation where the region remains the South Pacific region remains the world's largest and deepest ocean with the most fish stocks in the world.

This is a wonderful website. I've been a student of WW2 for many years. The saga of the maiden voyage of Schlachtschiff Bismarck is remarkable. The drama, suspense, the human element, it's all there.

I am glad I have found this site. The scale model of the original Bismarck has just been released for building through a local chainstore in our country and I have decided to accept the challenge. Good luck to everyone who has set out to build such an amazing accomplishment.

Eine wunderbare WEBSITE!  Übrigens (wenn ich) kommentieren darf: Admiral Geunther Luetjens hätte dem Bismarck, und nicht Lindemann befehlen sollen. Luetjens hat auf HMS Hood nicht feuern wollen, aber Lindemann hat einer direkten Reihenfolge von Admiral Luetjens nicht gehorcht. Luetjens war ein herrlicher Schneller Offizier und hat den Nazis misstraut! Er hat gedacht, dass Hitler ein hysterischer Esel war! Luetjens war ein wahrer Held!

Your thorough, organized and easy to navigate site makes it possible to learn more in a shorter time than I would have thought possible. I found your site while watching James Cameron's Expidition Bismarck on DiscoveryTV. Watching the program in HD and cross referencing your site was the perfect way to re-live an amazing time and gain a greater appreciation for the greatest of great battleships. I wouldn't have found answers to my questions without this site. Thanks!

Creo que esta pagina hace honor a todos aquellos marinos, en este caso en especial los del Bismarck, que tuvieron el honor de participar en esta gran batalla. De la misma forma que ensalza las caracteristicas y la superioridad tecnica de uno de los mejores navios de toda la Historia.

The Bismark has always been fascinating reading for me. I believe the German navy gave a good account of itself in WWII. Reading about it on your website was a splendid experience
