A brief history of the Bismarck

The battleship Bismarck—the pride of the German Kriegsmarine—was commissioned in 1940. In May 1941, she participated in the famous Operation Rheinübung. Her duel with the British HMS Hood and the Royal Navy went down in naval warfare history, and the pursuit of Bismarck became one of the most dramatic episodes of that era. Ultimately, the ship was sunk on May 27, 1941, in the North Atlantic. Today, Bismarck remains a symbol of the technological power and courage of the German navy during World War II (1939–1945).
