- On May 26, 1941, Bismarck, the German battleship, was heading towards France for repairs, after she sustained minor damage during the Battle of the Denmark Strait; the battle in which Bismarck, with the help of the battleship Prinz Eugen, sank the British battlecruiser, HMS Hood.
The British had been tailing Bismarck for the following two days, and on the night of May 26, began their attack.
A group of torpedo planes were sent to strike Bismarck, and although, when released, most of the torpedoes missed the ship entirely, one managed to hit Bismarck's stern and disable her rudder, preventing the battleship from continuing on her course.
British ships began closing in on Bismarck, who was now incapable of outmaneuvering them.
The following morning, the British began their final assault by firing hundreds of shells into the Bismarck, who, tried to retaliate, but due to her broken rudder, was unable to maintain a steady course, which prevented her guns from firing accurately at the enemy ships.
Soon, the relentless shelling began to seriously damage the battleship, and she began taking on water.
With the fate of Bismarck now certain, the commanding officer gave the order to abandon ship; the crew then primed scuttling charges and jumped overboard.
Shortly thereafter, Bismarck sank beneath the Atlantic waves, taking the vast majority of her crew down with her. - Розваги
Cool Fact of the Day:
Yes, the bombardier of the last Swordfish to make an attack run on Bismarck did lean over and hang upside down from the side of his plane to guide the pilot and aim the torpedo in to its target.
It was that last torpedo that made the one-in-a-million Achilles heel hit on Bismarck's rudders (as Bismarck had previously made a one-in-a-million lucky hit on Hood's aft magazines), destroying one of them and wrapping the other around her center screw, making sea repairs for her steering impossible and sealing her fate.
Bismarck was unable to effectively use differential propeller speeds to aid manoeuvring due to a design issue which didn't help them it is suspected.
Where have you read that? I have watched a documentary with interviews with the pilots.
It was the last torpedo, yes, but it hit midship.
Also the leaning doesn't make sense. The best person in position to aim the torpedo is the pilot.
According to the documentary, the last pilot was partially able to hit her because the AA gunners overlooked him. He was last and flew quite low
@@jankutac9753
The Observer was looking to see how the waves were breaking. The rough sea was making the torpedoes go off course but the Observer got the torpedo into the perfect peice of water so it ran straight
@@monza1002000 hmm ok, might be. But I don't remember anything like that from the documentary. Maybe it was added for cinematic effect in some of the older adventure films, and people stuck with it later.
Also other planes were smaller and didn't have any such observers, and it still worked. But in this case, it could be; because the swordfish was slow (so waves maybe really played a bigger role) and had 3 people on board (correct?) , So one of them could really help in this way
@@jankutac9753
It was a very stormy sea and they risked everything just to launch the Swordfish
I remember they interviewed the pilot that dropped the torpedo that sealed the Bismarcks fate. He recalled how his spotter leaned down over the side to look. The fact you researched that detail is quite lovely
i always watch his videos to learn more, and I know how stunningly accurate people like JD can be.
Lt. John (Jock) Moffat was the pilot.
He's name was Jock
I was waiting for them to bring up that part because it’s so iconic to the fate of Germanys “Beast of Steel”
The fact that your Lego models and the way that you shot this is more accurate than I've seen from most AAA games and even movies is astounding
Ever heard of exaggeration?
@@deskmat9874 hes definetly right this man did what many movies and games struggle with, with fucking lego models
The John Williams-esque music really helps make this awesomely animated video all the more exciting by bringing a bit of Star Wars back to its WWII roots.
What is that music bro

Many of your films have inspired me!!
Hi
This was pretty great. Especially liked the touch of making the King George IV and Rodney look like their distinct designs.
This was more exciting, epic, suspenseful, emotional and entertaining than anything put out by Hollywood in the past decade
Everything about this is so amazingly cool, the water, the machinery, the accuracy, truly a great animation.

This man is on another level.
2:28 - By far my favourite part.
This is probably the most amazing lego stop-motion film I have ever seen.
Amazing detail! HMS Rodney represented to a tee. Such an unusual ship. The only thing missing was the torpedo attack by the British Dorsetshire at the end of the battle.

@@RAFF1101 the terror of the seas!
reading about the bismarck got me into history when i was like 6-7 years old, so this is extra epic+cool - love the classical star wars-like music, it really connects the ww2 inspirations found throughout that franchise somehow :)
I loved the Star Wars music because the entirety of Operation Rheinubung is similar to the Malevolence arc of the Clone Wars
@@Voltstorm0207 Apparently the movie Sink the Bismarck inspired the attack on the Death Star in A New Hope.
@@eedwardgrey2 Possibly but I think the movie 663 Squadron was more inspirational in the trench scenes - just like the Mosquitoes attacking the factory up the end of the Norwegian fiord.
I'm sure one of the Bismarck's AA guns sounded just like an ATAT firing its lasers!
@@plymouth5714 but way louder. way way louder.
I love the Star Wars style soundtrack which the movie itself is inspired by World War 2. And fun fact is that the anti aircraft guns of the Bismarck is so advance, it can't accurately target the slow moving Swordfish planes. Great great video. Lego should pay you for more of these.
What is the music in this video please tell
@@nepoleans ahhhh I wish I knew too
Battle at sea by joe kraemer
@@Frying-pan-made-of-eggs thank you
Astonished by the detail... Bismarck, Rodney, KGV all modelled superbly, not just "generic" battleships...
3:33 it's pretty amazing how that one precise torpedo strike sealed the Bismarck's fate, the pilot of the plane who dropped that torpedo was called John Moffat. He is widely credited as 'the man who sank the Bismarck' Another amazing scene you could have added was where Captain Lindermann saluted at the bow when the ship went under.
Зачем добавлять эту сцену если эта анимация с реальностью имеет только 1 сцену, когда торпеда попала в рули, да и то тут она попала в пропелеры и как-то сбила 1 руль, а у пропелера просто отлетела лопость, хотя его должно было скривить полностью как руль. Всё остальное бред.
@@user-qp8nd7dn9k bruh what about you recreate it…
Despite the Bismarck refusing to sink, 2 last torpedoes from the HMS Dorsetshire finally put the unsinkable hulk out of its misery.
@@GreatNorthernOfficialChannel You mean the torps that hit what was left of the superstructure due to the pronounced list after the scuttling charges went off?
I very much recommend you read the forensics analysis done in 2002. You are going to find quite some interesing things in there - along with photos from the wreck.
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 sniff sniff I sense a “SHE VAS NOT ZUNK ZE VAS SCUTTLED”-type. Yes, scuttled, whilst crippled, driving around in circles, slowly taking on water and being battered to pieces by angry circling warships. All the scuttling achieved was to save the British fleet some ammunition and allow their crews to stand down and rest in their warm, dry ship. So thankyou for that favour. Enjoy your triumph ;)
This was exceptional, but one of the highlights was the attention to detail with the shell loading mechanism and the rammer pushing the cordite propellant charge in after.
Great stuff, you really captured the feel of the old Sink The Bismarck movie, even though it’s in colour it has a greyscale quality to the overall aesthetic which is lovely.
*Claymation versión of Bissmark* ua-cam.com/video/pbM6c4Zzvvs/v-deo.html
@@Usuario_Ruso that was stupid as phuk
But German heavy guns used sliding wedge breeches with brass case obturators, not Welin screw with bagged charges. In the old film, HMS Vanguard's guns played both British and German - just the language of the shouted loading reports was different. And Swordfish didn't really do steep dives - you could probably rip the wings off doing that!
But still a very nice and reasonably historical piece of work! 🙂
@@Usuario_Ruso that video is about the battle of midway bro.
Q. How do you tell the story of the Bismarck sinking without any deaths?
A. Legos.
Well done. Bravo.
Not only the animation itself is amazing, the directing is professional and the attention to details and historical accuracy is better than most documentaries..
I'm genuinely impressed by this video.
Thank you!
The Bismarck was doomed as soon as the ammunition locker on the HMS Hood detonated. Great animation once again, JD.
Who else loved Extra History’s series on the Bismarck?
I liked Sabaton’s song about the Bismarck
I liked Extra History's take on the subject, also this is an amazing remix of a song about the Bismarck
Song: ua-cam.com/video/Zpa_39e9dAw/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Barrxn
I don't understand sorry?
Can you elaborate why was the Bismarck doomed when an ammunition locker on another ship exploded?
@@logicaltips4107 Because at that point the British would stop at nothing to sink it. Revenge is a powerful motivator.
Aside from the animation and other effects, can we all take a second to appreciate the shot selections. Truly cinematic and really adds to the action. Great work
And how about the score? If I didn't know better, I'd say John Williams did it.
me: im gonna recreate it
also me: realizes how expensive lego is
My grandpa used to tell me this story, and I'm really glad to see that the two tellings line up perfectly. What an awesome film you've made!
the detail is above and beyond anything I expected when I clicked on. Serious respect to all who worked on this!
Such a good animation just imagine if he remade his d-day with CGI that would be amazing! But how smooth everything is and it isn't blocky how most other stop motion videos are 30/10
*Claymation versión of Bissmark* ua-cam.com/video/pbM6c4Zzvvs/v-deo.html
No you dont understand its a 20/10
Favorite little detail is how at 1:16, the shots are actually coming from their respective guns, and not just random points on the ship. That level of attention and care is awesome.
@Mao Zedong Thank you glorious leader for singing Johnny Horton.
@Mao Zedong ill add one more like to that
“Sweetheart’s runnin away oh its not that simple”
“The Hood’s gonna pop your forehead pimple”
@Mao Zedong Bismarck never had the biggest guns, nor the biggest in size during the war. Though for Europe yes.
@@Absolut531kmh bet your fun at parties
its a song.
@@ImInDaSkies idk that the song exist, does it mean I'm "fun at parties"? 💀
If this guy can direct a sinking of the bismark with such quality, he can certainly do a sinking of the RMS titanic! Nice animation btw
Great job!
My favorite expressions are main gun shell loading and flooding.
Of course, everything else is unbelievable, but I think this expression is especially wonderful.
The details, both visual and historical are incredible! As a devotee of Legos and historical events, I thank you for this content.
*Historically Accurate*
Although Bismarck had been damaged in the engagement with Hood and forced to reduce speed, she was still capable of reaching 27 to 28 knots (50 to 52 km/h; 31 to 32 mph), the maximum speed of Tovey's King George V. Unless Bismarck could be slowed, the British would be unable to prevent her from reaching Saint-Nazaire. Shortly before 16:00 on 25 May, Tovey detached the aircraft carrier Victorious and four light cruisers to shape a course that would position her to launch her torpedo bombers.
At 22:00, Victorious launched the strike, which comprised six Fairey Fulmar fighters and nine Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers of 825 Naval Air Squadron, led by Lt Cdr Eugene Esmonde. The inexperienced aviators nearly attacked Norfolk and the U.S. Coast Guard cutter USCGC Modoc on their approach; the confusion alerted Bismarck's anti-aircraft gunners.
Bismarck also used her main and secondary batteries to fire at maximum depression to create giant splashes in the paths of the incoming torpedo bombers. None of the attacking aircraft were shot down. Bismarck evaded eight of the torpedoes launched at her, but the ninth, combined with fuel losses and increasing bow trim, forced the ship to slow to 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph). Divers repaired the collision mats in the bow, after which speed increased to 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph), the speed that the command staff determined was the most economical for the voyage to occupied France.
With the port rudder jammed, Bismarck was now steaming in a large circle, unable to escape from Tovey's forces. Though fuel shortages had reduced the number of ships available to the British, the battleships King George V and Rodney were still available, along with the heavy cruisers Dorsetshire and Norfolk.
The ships encountered Bismarck at 22:38; the battleships quickly engaged one to the other with the main batteries, Bismarck dealing light damage to the British pursuers and the British guns dealing massive damage that rendered the Bismarck beyond no hope, and taking about some 3,500 lives with her to the bottom of the Atlantic.
*And thus, marks the end of the terror of the seas, the pride of the Kriegsmarine*
Thank you for all this knowledge ! Love the sabaton reference, it's thanks to their song that I discovered the existence of the bismark
Te faltó algunos detallitos
Just over 2000 men all up the loss of life was 3500 that included the hood and Bismarck
From memory the hood sinking was Britain's highest loss of life at sea
And the single biggest loss of life was from the German transport ship mv Wilhelm gustloff witch sank with close to 10,000 people
@@scottbrown7073 mmm
Just a quick correction - if I remember correctly, the carrier that dispatched the torpedo bombers was actually the carrier HMS Ark Royal.
... granted, the Wikipedia pages for both Victorious and Ark Royal both say that those carriers were the ones that made an attack run on Bismarck, so I might be wrong
You got the details spot on, everything from the aimer hanging over the side of the Swordfish to the unmistakable profile of HMS Rodney. My Grandad served on Rodney during the war and in that engagement. Brilliant!
Beyond great. The attention to detail,eg the Swordfish's rudder/flaps. Incredible.
This was pretty cool. Of course through most of the battle, they were no longer dropping shells down on him. They were close enough that the rounds were traveling a straight trajectory, penetrating, and traveling through the superstructure, or skipping off the water, and into his sides. After the sinking of the Hood, every British ship there was merciless.
For all you Bismarck fans this video is a "must see." ua-cam.com/video/n69kV4gVoDw/v-deo.html
FINALLY, someone called the Bismarck the right pronouns!
@@theuniverse1158 that’s… important to you?
The Royal Navy sent 6 battleships, 3 battlecruisers, 2 carriers and 55 other warships after Bismarck. They did not want her loose in the Atlantic...
@@ScienceChap nope. I still see a lot of people commenting, “So what was the big deal?”, and “Japanese battleships Yamato and Musashi were much bigger.”
They don’t realize what damage a convoy raider like the Bismarck could do.
Amazing animation!
Would have added a short clip of a cat being blown off and landing on a piece of plank in reference to "Unsinkable Sam". The Cat was found on a piece of Driftwood after Bismarck sank. The feline served on two British warships until its death in the 1950's.
Unsinkable sam is an alien, and you can not change my mind
@@xDemishx it’s a honour to meet you mr Sam
Unsinkable Sam is likely an apocryphal story, as he doesn't appear on any records of the ships involved.

Aposto que você tirou mais de 5000 fotos 😅
I love the attention to detail with the powder kegs and the kickback of the AA guns. Bravo!
The fact that they sent so many weapons to sink that ship clears that the enemy both feared and honored that ship at the same time.
Clay versión ua-cam.com/video/pbM6c4Zzvvs/v-deo.html
It proves that the Bismarck was the most powerful ship in history
It was meant to sink Atlantic convoys along with their armed escorts. Its sinking was also a measurable blow to the Germans, since they would not be able to replace it. The sister ship Tirpitz was already commissioned before the war; no more such ships would be built.
@@bobfbib2180 powerful in the 1941 by 1943 more and more powerful BBs start appearing that are more powerful than Bismarck like the Iowas and the Yamatos.

This is out right amazing. The Bismarck is extremely well done. The Swordfish look excellent and the Rodney and King George V are awesome too. This is amazing.
@@feesh2147 I do not understand your comment. By all accounts the battleships King George V and Rodney were involved in the Bismarck's final battle. The Prince of Wales was involved in the Battle of the Denmark Strait alongside The Hood and then shadowed the Bismarck until Bismarck broke away. The Prince of Wales was A WWII era King George V class battleship though. You are correct regarding the sinking of the Prince of Wales and Repulse but that happened in December 1941 and the Bismarck events were in May 1941
@@dylansmith1364 shit
Absolutely incredible video. All the historic details are there from the Swordfish copilot leaning out to judge the shot, to the Bismarck signal king that they will fight to the last shell, to its primary fire control being blown clean off. I love as well that you portrayed German scuttling of the ship, as it was highly likely that that contributed a lot to the ships rapid sinking just as much as fire from the British ships.
Seems to be something missing at the front and back of the deck.
think account is that the hull itself couldnt be breached by the british fire: it was pounded so hard that it was glowing hot, but wasnt breached until the germans decided to abandon ship and blanted charges to prevent capture of the ship. Without that it may have been rendered harmless, all its guns silenced, but it may not have actually sunk.
@@thorveim1174 they've been down and witness that the hull was peppered with shell holes and torp holes from the British, all that that you're saying is jealous American propaganda. There's actual footage of the hull...
@@thorveim1174 which is of course bollocks because it takes a quick Google search to find pictures of battle damage to the turrets and conning tower (the three thickest parts of a typical ww2 battleship, including bismark, was that the conning tower, turrets and main armour belt are the thickest points of armour on the ship, main armour belt is commonly on the third thickest on that list and doesnt even cover the whole ship).
Look at pictures of the wreck and survey diagrams etc.
Parts of what I mentioned as the thickest parts have been Swiss cheesed in places but clear shell damage
Edit, just talking about the Hull being allegedly impenetrable/unsinkable, the rest I'm with you on.
@@thorveim1174 Kinda ridiculous, don't you think? Rodney's 16 inch guns could not possibly have consistently failed to penetrate Bismarck's 12.6 inch armor belt. Of course, torpedoes caused considerable damage as well. No chance Bismarck stays afloat even if the crew didn't scuttle it. Bismarck might have stayed mostly intact below the (normal) waterline, but a massive list meant it would have capsized regardless.
This is one of the best LEGO animations that I have ever seen. I could watch something like this all day.
Well done! I can not begin to imagine how brutal that battle was for the people involved.
The historical references made this video quite the treat! Such attention to detail!
Would've been nice to see the final death blow administered by the Dorsetshire's torpedoes, but I can understand it's already quite a monumental video.
I was about to make the exact same comment. Wonderful that a pile of Lego can be shaped accurately enough I could name all the British battleships engaging Bismarck
Just a small correction, but Dorsetshire, though she fired the final torpedoes at Bismarck, did not infact sink the Bismarck as she was scuttled by her crew to prevent the Brits from taking anything of value, in addition to this, it’s unlikely that Dorsetshire’s torpedoes would have done anything against the Bismarck because her torpedo protection was just so good, if you don’t count the 1-in-a-million rudder hit of course.
Not that it would have mattered in the slightest since by that point she was already a hole-ridden burning wreck of a ship that would probably succumb to the battle damage anyway, and if not, I doubt she’d be used ever again due to said damage and a…certain event that would take place a year or so later at a certain French port town.

Wow! My great-grandpa was a cannoneer on the hms Nabob, the Canadian aircraft carrier that launched the planes that eventually sunk the Bismarck. Though the ship received a torpedo, it was able to limp back to Scapa Flow and evade U-boats.

I love this video - but sheesh I've seen imperial storm troopers with more accuracy than those anti-aircraft guns
Bismarck AAA was calibrated for faster, modern planes. The slow Swordfish were also made of canvas over a frame - AA shells just went through the body.
Storm troopers?!
Out of your mind, you are. -Yoda
Stormtroopers' lasers shot strait, they didn't have all the disadvantages of those pesky bullets. It's also not easy to hit a moving target that can change its speed and direction in 3 dimensions while your gun is bobbing up and down and rolling with the ocean.
@@eelchiong6709 Hit the incoming aircraft you must
Bismarck gunners were probably good shots, the problem was that the Fairey Swordfish Torpedo bombers (Those biplanes you saw) had a wood-and-canvas structure. automatic AA shells just flew through the canvas and punched holes without doing any real damage, 40mm shells (or whatever caliber the germans used) had explosive fillings but the canvas was too soft for the fuses to be triggered, and of course the geysers made by the 12.7cm guns weren't effective, so all swordfish made it back.
This is by far the best Lego stop Mouton animation I've ever seen. The frame rate shows me this took a LONG time to make, and the detailing is utterly incredible.
These stop motions are actually digitally created, there's likely no physical lego in this.
Doesn't mean it wouldn't still be taking a long time to make though mind.

@@kirotheavenger60 I’m pretty sure if it was digital stop motion, it would say so. If that’s not the case, than putting “Stop motion + CGI” has many interpretations to what it specifically means.

Don't know why but I love watching these videos!
Every day here lately during lunch break, this is how I spend it 😅
Those Lego headshots are brutal
! Thanks for making history lessons entertaining.
Man, this animation is really great but also very historically accurate!
reports were said that the Bismarck even used there second battery guns against the first Swordfish attack, but none of them were shot down.
They even fired the main gun on the ocean to create huge water splash to block sword fishes view
5:15 lol 😂 he looks so funny just flying around
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING 😮
I have heard people say "Why use stop motion animation? It's antiquated and time consuming, while a computer animation program can do it better and quicker. Why? Because it's an art. It's a skill that few can do at this level. Keep going and pass it on to the next generation.
3:20 Yes, this did happen, one RAF crewman leaned out his aircraft to correctly gauge the release time.
The observer in question, Sub-lieutenant J D Miller (Dusty) RNVR, 818 Squadron, Fleet Air Arm (FAA). Not RAF.
What a lad.
The attention to detail in this is just astounding. The effects on the planes were especially awesome - you have no idea how delighted I was to see the flaps actually move! Also, the animation is beautifully-done, the builds themselves are stunning, the historical accuracy was delightful, and that water was literally so satisfying to look at. Literally the coolest thing I’ve watched all week
Unless the Swordfish has some funky setup with its control surfaces, they shouldn't move that way. Control surfaces on the ends of the wings are called ailerons, and generally only provide roll control, while the horizontal tail surfaces, or elevator, provides pitch authority. The animation shows ailerons and the elevator being used to both roll and pitch the aircraft.
Also flaps are large control surfaces on the inner trailing edge of the wing that are used to increase lift and drag, and typically only tilt downwards and remain symmetrical on either side. I don't think the Swordfish would even have flaps, as many biplanes tend not to have them.
@@SuperFrodo95 Thanks for the correction! I'm not exactly a plane expert lol, in layman's terms all the control surfaces are just "flaps" so it's cool to get a proper explanation
Not Historically accurate because it happened in real life and not in Lego
The loading of the shells and shot were top notch too.
Dude honestly this is truly amazing work. Thank you for taking the time.
Better than any official Lego media ever produced
While watching this, I genuinely got this feeling of marvel that one might feel when seeing such machinery in real life. I thought "Wow, humans have made such imposing, colosssal ships and weaponry". I knew it was lego, but it felt real. Like seeing something that just gives you the impression of might. Of... grandness.
While I agree with you, I struggle with the human element of the event. I read a book by one of the survivors of Bismarck. Their description of conditions on the main deck as they abandoned ship are truly haunting.
@@glenchapman3899 Agreed, though I didn't read the book
This stop motion is incredible !!

How can some dorks on the internet have more creative talent than most of Hollywood?!
This is crazy good, absolutely mind-blowing. Outstanding job!
Easily the best stop motion I’ve ever seen in my life, it’s just astonishingly stunning how amazing it is. 🤯
This looks great! The look of the cgi water wasn't overdone and it's use was very creative. Amazing job! 👍
I LOVE this animation! I think that it's really cool with the effects and all! Keep up the good work!
This is some good stop motion and cgi you’ve just gained a subscriber
The Stop Motion is so good and was definitely worth the wait. this is like professional the animation is stunningly smooth the camera shaking and moving is perfect the editing blends really well with the real elements like at 5:00 and also I’ve never heard of this battle but the way this was made told a story and now I understand it through Stop Motion, i’m a stop motion animator myself and I consider myself to be quite good but you, man you’re incredible, my only complaint is that you’re making me look bad

For all you Bismarck fans this video is a "must see." ua-cam.com/video/n69kV4gVoDw/v-deo.html
For real thought the Star Wars music was gonna kick in here at 3:42
This was phenomenal. THe attention to detail, even demonstrating how the projectiles were loaded into the large guns, followed by the gun powder, spot on and brilliant. (My ex was on the Missouri and I saw a demo on how the 16” guns were loaded). Awesome man.
Gotta appreciate the fine tech everyone used in ww2. Destructive but very fascinating piece of engineering
Awesome! I love how well you blended the cgi and stop motion. It looks amazing!

These are so well done. Absolutely incredible.
Details are just wonderful. And I loved how much did you know about the naval combat!!
Это ГЕНИАЛЬНО!!!!! такие трагические события. Смотришь с одной стороны смешно, с другой грустно. очень хорошо показано, как маленькие человечки копошаться. Автор большой бододец. БРАВО.
Pride of a nation, a beast made of steel
