Bismarck looked like a freaking steel city!! 😱 This footage is absolutely amazing!!
This is definitely as good as it gets right here. I'm a historian and this is money in the bank. When it pans out u see what's left of Hood. Unbelievable
@@jackburton6462 As if Bismarck's "awesomeness" destroyed Hood. It was a million to one shot that would have destroyed any other ship in the same circumstances... NO ship tends to react very well to 100 tons of cordite deflagrating in it's bowels.
@@jackburton6462 It is amazing historical footage. Also very sad looking where Hood was. 1500 sailors dead. :-(
@@jackburton6462that’s not the hood….
my great grandpa died on the bismarck, he worked at one of the big guns. rip
Yea that’s crazy how they could just not surrender the ship save min board.
@@richardthomas1566 Bless his heart! All those brave men! HMS Hood, HMS Prince Of Wales, and the Bismark! Men were killed and wounded!
@@jasonthorpe7087 Amen
My brother had a girlfriend whose grandfather fought on Bismarck - and was one of the very few to survive its' sinking.
My grandpa served on Leichter Kreuzer Karlsruhe which was sunk at Chrisiansand/Norway. But he survived.
Impressive footage but let us not forget. These where the moment nearly all onboard the Hood lost their lives. Only 3 survived.
... and following the end of the "Bismarck" ...
War is terrible, not important where in the world 🌍🌎.
My Grandfather's serves in the Wehrmacht, one lost his life in prison as POW in Poland. The revenge of the winner.
That's the reason because I never touched a uniform and a gun. Fighting must always the "little man", not the government.
Stay your life peacefully and respect others.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Orders from the Top. Was to sink the Bismarck No matter what.. Even if they had already surrendered. The Battleship still got pummeled with wave after wave of shells till it sunk.
Tragic loss of life, which was harsh from the British Navy. War is war as they say.
@@karlpedersen7Bismarck was within range of Luftwaffe patrols from France and could have been salvaged if not sunk. Add to that the RN ships were low on fuel they had to finish her off and get out of range of bombers.
Drachinefel has a great in depth documentary on the battle.
@@karlpedersen7 If that was the case there would be no Geneva Convention. and such. The Allies were bitter and vengeful victors, not really honorable a lot of the time.
@@JuergenGDBbollocks nazi apologiser. Germany has not received enough for what they were doing from the very beginning of the war.
Legends were made and legends were lost upon the rough seas, on that cloudy and windy day in the great North Atlantic.
If the cameraman were on the Bismarck the entire outcome would have been different.
We wouldn't have seen the footage.
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 he means the Bismarck wouldn't have sunk because cameramen never die.
i think on the Bismarck was a camera crew too, but that foottage is obviously lost with them ;)
No the camera is on Prinz eugen in the frond is bismark
@@astrophotogarphyhub8023 nobody said anything different
It's mind blowing though, the cost, then building it, a very large crew, new technology, and yet gone to the sea bottom on its 1st time in the North Atlantic 😮 RIP all who went down with it 🎉
Bismarck FuMO 23 radar was not work properly due to not go on trail before the battle & got shutdown by the 38cm SK C/34 gun blast and instead Prinz Eugen was send forward with the work-in-normal FuMO 27 radar to scout & alert to the enemy ship present but problem that lead to the useless of the FuMO 23 was the lack of PPI short for Plant Position Indicator which could track multiple target & the gunnery officier doesn't need to correct the target after each salvo.
PPI is short for Plan Position Indicator...what most people nowadays think when they see a radar picture, able to measure both bearing and range. The German range had a rather simple scope that measure only range...the target looks like a peak on the scope.
You're right!
The firepower from those guns is terrifying.
the shell splashes coming back at her would/could be worse
Very impressive. A friend was on a ship close to the Missouri during a training exercise. He said the sound of the guns firing was unbelievable
War is about Monkeys throwing rocks. In this case, 800kg fused HE projectile at 800m/s.
KGV hood and Rodney all have better firepower.
Best colour film I've seen of this thanks for sharing.
This is footage of Bismarck's sea trials in the Baltic Ocean April 1941, taken from the deck of the Prinz Eugen. By the time of the Battle of the Denmark Strait 24 May 1941 the Bismarck had lost the colourful black and white disruptor camoflage and was painted overall in grey. So nice footage but wrong place.
If it’s sea trails, how come there are shells going off in the water near her?
@@taelee73 This is two films joined together. The first part is the sea trials. There is a short piece at the end filmed from the Prinz Eugen which is the battle.
Absolutely amazing. When she let loose it was on. My God the view from Prinz is amazing
Einfach unglaublich die Bilder und diese feuerkraft!!!
who knows how far can you hear the shells flying....Ted Brigs on Hood said they sounded like a train goin through a tunnel
Prinz Eugen was one of the most beautiful ships in the world.
Just came across this one. As usual, Fantastic. Thanks, Bob
As with Hood's crew, those men seen on the deck had a short time left to live. Another example of the futility of (though sometimes necessary) war. Old men decide and young men die. RIP to them all.
I love German battleships like Bismarck also this video is awesome 👍
Absolutley amazing.
Wow just amazing footage!
Bismarck e Prinz Eugen, due navi fantastiche e incredibili
They were good ships but not better than what the Royal Navy had, contrary to Hitler's propaganda. The Bismarck was not "the most powerful battleship afloat". Plenty of RN battleships were capable to taking her on alone if necessary. The reason for the serious concern about them was because Adm. Raeder planned to use them for convoy raiding, as the British knew very well. This is classic sea denial strategy, the correct approach when a navy has insufficient strength to challenge their opponent for sea control. Fortunately for us all, the RN prevailed. Otherwise the world might be a very different place today.
The Bismarck was cameraed from the heavy cruiser Eugen !
To think it was that third salvo from Bismarck that blew up the Hood, god rest those sailors
5th
Im try to guess the feelings of the crews of both Bismark an Hood they felt when they were fighting eachother.
It looks so frightening. Everyone must have known that this might be their last minutes on earth.
And then the big smoke colums on the horizon. For the Bismark crew it had to be clear that there was hell spreading on Hood.
Absolutly terrifying. 😢
What an impressive machine. But only there to kill...
Thanks for this and thank goodness for technology to be able to do this in colour! 👍
Those engines are going flank speed
Sehr beeindruckende Bilder👍🏻
Beatiful footage in color , and now you see how perfet the camopattern works, it breaks the shape and length of the ship
Bismark-Pride of the nation Beast made of steel 🫡
haha, getting stopped by a bunch of obsolete swordfish biplanes...getting hit in exactly its weak point. On its first trip! So much to your beast.
Big war ships is just a waste of everything.

"Sabaton". … Bismark in motion, king of the ocean. He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas… To lead the War Machine to rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine, The terror of the seas, The Bismark and the Kriegsmarine.
She was a beauty. It’s a bit sad she had to go down.
Absolutely fantastic ❤❤❤
So beautiful
My grandfather was on HMS Prince of Wales, Gunnery PO; Prince of Wales holed Bismarck in the bow (the beginning of the end), before making smoke and withdrawing after Bismarck hit her bridge with a 16 inch shell (among numerous other damages).
15 inch
PoW also scored an underwater hit on Bismarck that forced flooding of one of Bismarck's boiler rooms.
PoW withdrew after experiencing malfunctions on both quad gun turrets, leaving PoW with only two useable 14" guns. PoW continued to shadow Bismarck, closing twice to fire on the retreating Bismarck before experiencing the turrent malfunctions again. To be fair, PoW was rushed into operation for this mission and hadn't undergone a proper shakedown cruise. Bismarck managed to slip away while PoW was fixing her turrets again, changing course to steam to France for repairs.
@@iansneddon2956 Absolutely. PoW was rushed into action from Belfast before she was even completed, civilian gunnery engineers were still aboard heading into action. After some research, a few years ago, I managed to find a map of PoW's fall of shot during the 15-minute engagement. The gunnery turrets on PoW were a real problem, as I understand. My grandfather, PO George F. Pople, had retired in the late 1930s, and volunteered for active service after the declaration of war. He survived the sinking off Singapore, and died in January, 1945, of pneumonia on a training ship in Portsmouth. He was 51.

If Germany would have had the same amount of robbed colonies, as the UK or France or Spain, it would have had much more battle ships like that one, 😮
Great footage
Thank You Divine Right
Wonderful ship… ❤ Love it… unglaubliches Filmmaterial
Los piratas ingleses tuvieron que emplearse a fondo para hundir a este monstruo.
It was the best the germans made,
It could sail half around the world on one tank of fuel
brits knew it
The hood was a tuberculosis tub
Impressive firepower.
Only the last 20-30 seconds is combat footage👎So the title is dishonest. Amazing how poor the British gunnery is, no wonder Hood was sunk and George V was pounded into pudding.
The British gunnery wasn’t bad, POW still had awful teething troubles with her new 14” guns and had a civilian engineer crew onboard to work on them whiLE she was dispatched with the hood, and by the end of the battle I think something like 6 of her 10 guns had stopped firing completely due to issues. And hood just locked onto prinz eugen first thinking it was Bismarck. POW and Bismarck had about the same hit percentage though, Bismarck just got the miracle shot that took hood out
Bismarck in motion, the beast made of steel. King of the ocean
THIS IS AMAZING
Bismarck and Yamato was the best ships in ww2 . But both with sad end.
Gorgeous ship
1:38 thats Prinz Eugen !!!
Definitely not a good day for the hood and a pretty bad day for the Prince of Wales.
Extraordinary footage
By the way this footage was taken in the Prinz Eugen
It was a great ship, but like all the German battleships it was useless. Not only useless, though: think how many Uboats that could have been built with all that steel and money. Great for the world that Hitler was stupid.
Germany was at a disadvantage. The British economy was much more efficient than the dysfunctional centrally planned National Socialist economy, and as a major land power Germany's navy always took third place.
Consider that Germany was allowed to build two battleships (Scharnhorst and Gneisenau) under a treaty with UK. With these, Germany had two capital ships going into the war while the RN had twelve battleships, 3 battlecruisers, and 6 aircraft carriers.
The Germans had started building more ships: Bismarck, Tirpitz and Graf Zeppelin, but in response to this construction the British started building 5 fast battleships and 4 more aircraft carriers with a further 2 aircraft carriers laid down in 1939.
If Germany was building u-boats instead of Bismarck, Tirpitz and Graf Zeppelin, the funds spent on many of those new RN capital ships would have been spent on destroyers and convoy escort corvettes (and most of it would have been).
I don't think the Germans could have built up enough of a u-boat force early to make that much of a difference, as the time and ability to train new crews would be a constraint.
And increased u-boat attacks would have brought on an increased American response. Eventually the British and American tech would turn the tide against the u-boats as it did in 1943. The Germans invested in technological improvements for their u-boat force from 1943 onward but were losing more u-boats and sinking fewer ships. Can't remember if it was later in 1943 or in 1944 that the Germans reached the point where they were losing more u-boats than merchant ships they were hitting (damaging or sinking).
Improvements in depth charges, anti-submarine mortars, sonar, radar, sonobuoys, acoustic homing torpedoes, etc gave the advantage to the Allies. And with a massive transport ship construction program, the Germans could not keep up with the rate replacement transport ships were being built. And with more escorts and escort carriers available, more ships were diverted from convoy escort to operating independently as hunter-killer groups. The Atlantic Ocean became an unsafe place to operate a u-boat.
For the u-boats: ~1940 was the first happy time, 1942 was the second happy time, 1943-1945 was the unhappy time. No mystery why the u-boat service had such a high fatality rate for their crews.
1415 British sailors lost their lives that day.🙏
Magnificent

RIP 😮😢😢
Rip.
Hood should have stayed out of Bismarks weapon range
Can we have a full version?
Amazing footage!
You can see the bow of the Hood jutting skyward from the right side of the ball of smoke and flames.
Her last salvo, too.
That's Prince of Wales. She was very close behind. You can see the smoke trail from her funnels.
@@MichaelTaylor-xo4mf That shot was from the Prince of Wales.

old school fire power. impressive
If you don't know it yet, most of the video is captured by the crew of Prinz Eugen.
I mean, y'all should know this already.
You can tell the difference very well.
Edit: Shoutout to the crew that recorded these videos, cuz videos of real warships in action captured by that time of the action is happening are very hard to find anywhere, what more WW2 warships like we have here.
Which is Prinz Eugen & Bismarck, two of these ships are one of my favourite ships to play in WoWs btw. :3
Yup. My grandfather filmed some of it.
Best and most beautiful ship that ever crossed the ocean. Never forgetting her name.
It never crossed an ocean .... and only lived 9 days.
Best? Literally sank on its first mission.
@@mrcaboosevg6089 hood sunk at the first encounter with Bismarck 😂
@@hohenstaufen.1010 Yes but unlike Bismark, Hood achieved its object which was to inflict damage on the German ships. Even tho Hood was sunk, the Bismark failed as it's goal was to avoid damage and sail to the shipping lanes. So although it was a tactical defeat, it was a stategic victory for the British who considered themselves expendable.
@@hohenstaufen.1010laughing at over 1000 dead men?
I do believe Hood was also a WW1 ship.
holy cow i just found this page, must be my lucky day. I N C R E D I B L E footage . self proclaimed ww2 historian lol
The story of Bismarck would have been completely different without the intelligence that British had and the childish belief that Germans had conquered Norway. These Norwegian hard boiled men still make resistance. It was so early when these two ships was reported to to leave even the harbour that it was doomed already. The ship 'Bismarck' even though some of it is believed outdated, wasn't that at all, at she had these german radars, not like radars today, but radars to one direction and could fire at pitch black British destroyers. It was the earliest verson of radar. Germans got it all during WW Ii and invented not just this radar but also first jetfighters ever and first missiles. This has nothing to do or very little with Adolf Hitler, he just happend to have many of the best scientisit at the time and engineers, but not enough men to carry it out. And he wasn't just completely insane, but also one of the worst people ever born in this world and he wasn't even a German but Austrian. Yet simalar persons around this world are rising even today and there have been plany of those in history too.
Overall, Germany fell behind in radar tech during the war. They had no monopoly on science and, in fact, were falling behind. The expression "Our German scientists were better than their German scientists" has some validity. The Germans didn't just lose the Jewish scientists, but also foreign scientists working at German universities as well as quite a number of ethnic Germans who chose to leave rather than continue working in an environment where their positions and research funding depends on Nazi connections and advancing Nazi ideology rather than talent and advancing science. I think you understand this in the shortage of scientists and engineers. The primary beneficiary of this brain drain appears to have been American universities. Look at the recipients of Nobel Prizes in science before WW II and what universities they worked at, and after WW II. American universities became the top universities in the world.
First operational jet fighter is arguably the Gloster Gladiator and the first in combat would be the Gladiator, along with technically the first jet vs jet victory (against an unmanned target - a V1 flying bomb). Germany wasn't alone in jet development - just desperate enough to put a half baked prototype into production. British and American teams were working on axial flow compressor jets but with constraints that a jet engine had to be operational and meet reasonable quality standards. After the war, Adolf Galland compared the Me262 and the Gladiator and was asked which he would have wanted to take into combat. He chose a mix - taking the airframe from the Me262 but the engines and cannons from the Gladiator. This would have been a slower Me262, but could more quickly throttle up and down in a dogfight situation (without having its engines burst into flames).
The Germans got some key firsts but were not alone in developments, nor did they stay ahead. The German nuclear program fell behind the Allies during 1942 and the German nuclear programs never caught up to where the Allies were in December 1942.
And USA was also working on guided bombs from 1941 onward. The Germans got the first guided bomb deployed by going with a very clumsy manual control system with line of sight (remotely flying the bomb into the target from the launching plane using the human eyeball - needing a flare on the bomb to keep it visible and keeping both bomb and target in line of sight). That was mid-1943.
In April 1944 the USN depolyed the first self-guided bomb used in combat. This was a radar guided bomb.
While the Germans were working on TV guided bombs, the Americans were further ahead - but neither succeeded in developing a reliable TV guided bomb during the war. The US did manage an operational heat seeking bomb but it arrived too late to be of any use in the war.
USA deployed TV guided combat drones in the Pacific in successful live fire tests dropping bombs on Japanese targets or just flying the plane and bomb into the target. These could be flown by a crew member on a TBF Avenger up to 5 miles back from the drones.
Oh, and those V1 rockets? By the summer of 1944 the British had a chain of AA guns across the flight paths of the V1 rockets with radar sets, fire control computers and automatic gun laying tech. They would aim themselves at the V1 rockets and only needed crew to load and fire. And with Allied proximity fuse tech, the shells didn't need to be programmed for altitude or hit the V1s, they would go off as they neared the target allowing a near miss to still destroy the target. The interception rate of V1 rockets using these guns was getting over 90% by the time the Allies overran the launch sites. The Germans could only dream of having such tech defending German cities from Allied bombers.
And then there was the most technological battle of WW II, the battle of the Atlantic. With joint British and American efforts, new tech in 1943 spelled doom to the u-boat forces. While the Germans introduced a lot of new tech over the latter part of the war (including snorkels that allowed u-boats to run their diesel engines and recharge batteries while submerged), they couldn't keep up with the Allied tech which included airborne radar sets that could detect a u-boat on the surface miles away and, later in the war, could detect the snorkel of a submerged u-boat at range. Hunter killer groups were equipped not only with air drop depth charges, but could deploy sonobuoys to better locate submerged u-boats but also acoustic homing torpedoes to track on and kill submarines. it didn't take long until u-boat losses began to exceed the number of ships the u-boats were sinking. You may have heard about the first and second "happy times" for the u-boat service. After May 1943 it was just an unhappy time for u-boats.
Adolf Hitler was an ethnic German, which is true of many Austrians
Amazing footage, although it's hard to watch the part when we lost Hood.
I thought that was the Hood though this obviously must have been before that shell hit the Magazine on the Hood
The large plume toward the end was the stricken Hood. The very last frame was the Prince of Wales, laying down smoke to cover her withdrawal.
@@patrickwheatley2693 At 3:16 you can see flashes next to the large plume above what was Hood, I assume its Prince of Wales firing its main guns.
for all the guys who want to know what they are saying (if this is real)
the first sentence at 1:51 is "Ich weiß es nicht" (eng: I don't know)
the second sentence at 1:55 is "es ist (traumhaftes?) Wetter" (it's fantastic weather)
the last group of words at 2:05 sounds like "ich hole etwas" (I'll get something) or "schon etwas" (already something)
the rest is so quiet and masked by the noise that I can't identify anything from that
if someone understands more or wants to correct me then feel free to do so
I doubt that the audio is original... it is always post-producted.
It isn’t original. I’ve seen the original footage from the original reel it was on and it is very shaky and hard to make out specific details. There is no audio. This is a modern reconstruction of the footage.
It says right here in the description for this video that the sound was added. They do it to make it more real.
She was a great ship she was .... she ruled the seas

Amazing Footage! Germans had good technology to build things, wow!
What amazing historical footage. Bismarck was a beast. It is terrifying to think how they wiped out Hood so quickly.
Wow
Compared to the other three ships taking part in the battle the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen was literally unsinkable.
I have watched half of it and whilst it is amazing I just wish I knew which ship was which.
Bismarck out front, camera on Prince Eugen, second half battle largest pall of smoke in distance is Hood (after destruction)
By modern standards, warfare in slow motion. Brave sailors on both sides.
the british navy sent the bismarck to the bottom heavy loss of life on it
* Airforce
@@Shrikinator Um, no.
The Catalina that relocated Bismarck allowing the torpedo bombers to carry out their attacks was part of RAF Coastal Command.
But, still, it was the Royal Navy that did most of the heavy lifting as those torpedo bombers were with the navy Fleet Air Arm.
@@iansneddon2956 Fair enough 👍
Nerves of absolute steel. To be on one of these ships and not literally having anxiety every second of every day i cannot even begin to imagine what these men went through.
The film clip of the battle is still a mystery to me. As far as I understand, Bismarck should have fought the battle on a southerly course to port, but in the film she fights it to starboard towards Greenland. Military historians are in demand.🧐
This is not original. It's been colourised. The original is black and white.
Guns the best history no doubt
Se filmo desde el orinz Eugen....las filmaciónes del bismarc se perdieron.....
very nice footage, but some commentary would have been nice to better understand what is actually going on...
Bismarck immer voran!
It's Bismarck's superior speed. This was the primary attribute of German battleships giving them a superior ability to run away from British capital ships.
Notables imágenes, las que están en colores desde el original (lo que era carísimo en esa época al momento de copiar y para lo corriente mejor hacían copias en blanco y negro, y es por eso que a la Segunda Guerra Mundial la conocemos en imágenes en grises). En la filmación subida aquí, se aprecia al impresionante Bismarck en combate, disparándole al Hood, orgullo del Reino Unido, al que lo eliminó en unos 10 minutos, tiempo brevísimo, diría que récord. Los artilleros del navío alemán demostraron una precisión extraordinaria, pues en alta mar, por multiplicidad de variables (comenzando por el oleaje mismo), eran muchos los disparos que se iban literalmente "al agua" antes de lograr un acierto.
He visto este video más completo también en blanco y negro. Se aprecian disparos del Hood delante y por detrás del Bismarck, en el agua, en el proceso de artillería naval de horquillado, es decir ir buscando la distancia precisa del blanco, probando con tiros cortos y pasados, para luego dar en el medio.
En el combate con el Hood, recuerdo que el Bismarck tuvo algunos daños que luego le serían fatales en los días siguientes cuando los británicos le persiguieron y lo atacaron también con aviones, terminando por hundirlo.
A nivel mundial y por la época, el Bismarck sería el segundo acorazado más grande y de poder de fuego del mundo, en combate, pues me parece que el más titán de todos fue el Yamato japonés.
Si claro, pero tiene un detalle, los restauradores olvidaron que el sonido debe llegar después de ver el disparo, debería haber algunos segundos de diferencia entre que tu ves el disparo y escuchas el sonido... saludos
@@AtlesthanelllExcelente detalle técnico, correspondería primero el destello y más tarde la detonación; en el montaje lo dejaron al unísono o cuasi al revés.
Nice restoration but the soud of weapons should be heard a few seconds after to be fired.
@@Atlesthanelll thank you so much / yup actually it’s true that. I realized after I already uploaded the video. I’m planning to make more though so will take notice of this mistake
Thumbs up - I came here to say that.
Mon dieu.
Shame that the restoration sound recording at 2:14, 2:25 and 2:32 etc has the gun booming at the same time as you see the muzzle flash. At the distance the camera footage was taken, the boom should be many seconds after the flash. The speed of sound is 330m per sec. That ship firing was more than 300m away from the ship upon which the cameraman was filming.
Way too much smoke!! The fish are not happy!!
Amazing footage. The cameraman on the Prince Eugen turned and recorded the plume of smoke that was the HMS Hood.
For a second, I belive you saw the hul of the Hood, going down.
@@andrewgreaves6448 Off to the left of the plume of smoke you can see HMS Prince of Wales. They had to make a hard turn, to starboard I think, to avoid colliding with the stricken Hood. Then at the 3:40 mark or so you can see the plume of smoke still hanging and to the left another plume of smoke which was then the damaged Prince of Wales retiring from the fight.
Awesome vid - thx for share !!! 👏👍
Now that's a warship
Just thankful it didnt break out with its sister ship Tirpitz can you imagine the 2 together
Great footage.
But added sound incorrect (speed of sound).
