Historical Description

The Bismarck battleship is one of the icons of the German navy during World War II. Launched in 1939, it became a symbol of Kriegsmarine power. In 1941, it took part in the famous battle in the Atlantic, where it sank the British HMS Hood. Just a few days later, it was itself destroyed in a massive Royal Navy attack. The Bismarck has served as a reference for modelers and historians interested in 1940s German military technology.
