It's also a reference to Otto Von Bismarck's famous "Iron and Blood" speech, which effectively kicked off the formation of Germany into the modern state we know it as today; he was more or less the father of modern Germany.
Titanic: torpedo? It took an iceberg to sink me who is a legend Bismarck: *so you would survive a hit in the rudder by a torpedo and two other in the hull, you would also survive 400 shells from the royal navy and eating more torpedoes again? I had to be scuttled after all that*
One thing I found when I read about Bismarck caught my interest and it is in fact a really interesting story! From when Bismarck first set sail, it always had a ship cat onboard, which original name given by the Germans is unknown. It was supposedly owned by an unknown crewman, but was seen as the shipscat by the entire crew. It was on the ship during the entire battle of the Denmark Strait and of course also on board when Bismarck sank. It managed to survive the sinking and a few hours later, the cat was found floating on a board and picked up from the water by the British destroyer HMS Cossack. The British sailors named him Oscar. HMS Cossack returned to the Mediterranean sea where it went on escort duties. On 24 October 1941, Cossack was escorting a convoy from Gibraltar to Great Britain when it was hit by a torpedo fired from U-563, after which it was towed towards Gibraltar but eventually sank after a huge explosion. Again, Oscar survived, and was brought to shore at Gibraltar and then tranferred to the Aircraft Carrier HMS Ark Royal, where the Captain allegedly said something like: "Is that the cat from the battleship Bismarck? Bring him onboard!" At this point the cat was known as "Unsinkable Sam", as a reference to the cat's luck after surviving two sinkings. But then, on 14 November 1941, Ark Royal too was torpedoed, this time by U-81 and sank around 30 miles from Gibraltar. Oscar managed to survive once again, and he was picked up and transferred to HMS Lightning and then to the same HMS Legion which had rescued the crew of HMS Cossack. HMS Legion would itself be sunk in 1942, and HMS Lightning in 1943. Oscar now, quite fairly, gained certain reputation of being extremely unlucky, and was therefore transferred first to the offices of the Governor of Gibraltar and then sent back to the United Kingdom, where he saw out the remainder of the war living in a seaman's home in Belfast called the "Home for Sailors". Oscar died in 1955.
The Bismarck was better than the titanic because: It had Turrets that could destroy ice bergs or almost any Thing in its way Much more advanced tech Smaller which makes it better somehow but idk
*Aboard the Bismarck* Spotter: "Contact 800 meters out." Captain: "Is it a British warship?" Spotter: " No, it's some Swedish guys on fishing boat." Captain: "What in God's name?!?"
Captain to the spotter : zoom in further Spotter : looks like they are a band Captain: we are blessed the almighty has blessed us (Bismarck intro starts playing)
Fun fact: if He had been built like other battleships of his time, he could've used his propellers to correct for the jammed rudder, but, his props were closer together than normal battleships, so he could not correct for the jammed rudder. Leading to him being swarmed.

Well, it's dependent on who is referring to the ship in question, and also on where the ship is from. For instance, during the Cold War, the NATO forces generally considered ships to be feminine, and used the female pronouns. In contrast, the USSR and the Soviet Bloc countries thought of ships as masculine, and used the male pronouns. The international intelligence community simply used the gender-neutral terms of "it", "it's" and in plural form, "they". Basically, an English-speaking person would still be allowed to use the female pronouns to refer to the Bismark, but someone from Germany or Russia would be just as able to refer to Bismark as male. A good rule is just to go with the pronouns used by the ship's home country.
History Teacher: Alright class we will discuss about German Battleship Bismarck. Who knows about Bismarck? Girls: Ugh, it's just a steel boat... Boys: *PRIDE OF A NATION, A BEAST MADE OF STEEL!* Teacher: Very good boys.
@@suanlim7683 Respect Is respect. It goes to those who serve their country with pride. Even if that means the country was bad at the time he still served with pride.
The Royal Navy was assembling a large force to sink it, and indeed had ordered every ship in the area to join in the search to find it. The much larger Royal Navy was able to assemble a force of six battleships and battlecruisers, two aircraft carriers, thirteen cruisers, and twenty-one destroyers to hunt Bismarck.
Nope...no Hood in this video, which puzzled me given the significance of that event to Bismarck's legendary status. The ship shown blowing up at 1:18 is HMS Warspite - a ship that actually survived everything her enemies threw at her in both World Wars! Historical errors aside, the imagery is simply stunning!
@@Chartdoc62 Ivor mixed in the World Of Warships German BB advertisement video which is why we have HMS Warspite detonating. WG probably did this since using re-creating the actual event for a game advertisement might have ruffled some feathers.

2000 shells and only 4 penetrations of citadel. Only 4 hits that did actual damage from 2000. Result of Bismarck wreck examination. Bismarck was sunk by own crew to prevent capture. HMS Rodney wikth 406mm guns looks impressive, but armor penetration of these old ww1 guns was poor.

The Bismarck (and the Tirpitz) - simply two of the most beautiful ships ever built. The irony is that it was such an evil regime which created these lovely ships.
What's equally funny is that the sailors didn't know that they were part of an evil regime they were just fighting for their country😔😔😔 rest in peace crew of the Bismarck
The Germans can't even build a frigate and not have it list to one side. The Washington Navy Yard buildings that made the American 16 inch naval rifles has been repurposed as offices. You need many thousands of workers and engineers and that is forgotten knowlege, blown by the sands of time into obscurity and legend.
Listened to this song shortly after it came out as the first song ive heard from Sabaton. Can't help but notice that Sabaton is 136/1300 total likes on my Spotify since April of 2020.
You keep the allies out of Norway for three years because your mere presence scares them and they send elite pilots to fucking bomb you with 5,200 pound bombs to sink you. Just Tirpitz things.
dumbest thing ive ever heard. you go ahead and remember ships from facist countries who murdered millions of people because they thought themselves superior to others. people like you sickin me.

@@Heksu5 well said. People these days are too narrow minded and only want to see the world in black and white. Bismarck and Yamato were magnificent ships. True symbols of power that we shall always remember as an inspiration to never give up, even when faced against insurmountable odds.
@Gladwyn Eclarinal well technically the damaged ships were still operational, just not be good in a combat situation which forced them to disengage Bismarck (before Bismarck got more torpedoes up and through his hull)
Only a few ships were damaged (the ships that were in final battle and hood and PoW and maybe Sheffield) But a bunch were sunk later like the Ark Royal (ship that knocked out the rudder) the PoW and the Repulse

The Royal Navy was assembling a large force to sink it, and indeed had ordered every ship in the area to join in the search to find it. The much larger Royal Navy was able to assemble a force of six battleships and battlecruisers, two aircraft carriers, thirteen cruisers, and twenty-one destroyers to hunt Bismarck.
Moral of the story: Don't piss off the Royal Navy

By far the best most informative video. Shows the launch, the sinking of the HMS Hood, the torpedo attacks on the Bismarck... Flawless.
Logan Barnette thanks man. You have no idea how much this means to me. Please subscribe for more content
Well actually its exactly the video made by wargaming and sabaton, the only change being the lyrics, which may or may not be legal, but i guess..
Nope...no Hood in this video, which puzzled me given the significance of that event to Bismarck's legendary status. The ship shown blowing up at 1:18 is HMS Warspite - a ship that actually survived everything her enemies threw at her in both World Wars! Historical errors aside, the imagery is simply stunning!
@@Chartdoc62 Ivor mixed in the World Of Warships German BB advertisement video which is why we have HMS Warspite detonating. WG probably did this since using re-creating the actual event for a game advertisement might have ruffled some feathers.

Hallo
Guten tag H.M.S hood
Germany with the Bismarck: Guess who rules the waves now
Britain: 👁👄👁
Japan: 👁👄👁
bismarck still upright at the bottom of the atlantic still fighting her last battle and forever in our memory
The Bismarck (and the Tirpitz) - simply two of the most beautiful ships ever built.
The irony is that it was such an evil regime which created these lovely ships.
Mase Sharp sometimes the greatest evils have the greatest creations
What's equally funny is that the sailors didn't know that they were part of an evil regime they were just fighting for their country😔😔😔 rest in peace crew of the Bismarck
Binyamin Yuen
That’s not true at all. Men aboard knew they were fighting for Hitler and National Socialism.
@@tigerfan826 Wrong, they were fighting for germany, their fatherland.
Well it's not that I agree on what Germany had done but British and allies in general were same if not more evil.
The Germans when the Bismarck was sunk: You sunk my battleship
Probably What Happened When The Bismarck Annihilated The Hood, But For Britain Instead...
You didn't come here for Valentine, you're here to celebrate the Bismark birthday this year 2022.
When you realize the Germans planned on making a bigger version of the Bismarck class with 800 mm guns.
*Kreigsmarine intensifies*
Would be cool but also hopeless stupid
Yeah, 800mm gun to big to put on a battleship, to heavy and will look like a weird battleship that only have 1 big gun......
@@cordelliasp8636 welll not if the ship was freaking oversized and the japaness have done half the size of 800 mm guns
Great maybe considered it not Bismark but Schewer Gustav-Class battleship
S.S Swaggings why am I hearing Popeye mumbling "where is the trigger on this gun?"
this song also has enough metal to make the ENTIRE KRIEGSMARINE
On german Like that
It's so metal that if it were around during the construction for the Nazi army, the allies would have too much to fear
Probably the most high budget band ever. I love Sabaton.

When you play Bismarck on world of warships, every enemy team light ships are like: Hell No and leave match
I see you ignored the power of angry Fletchers.

1:The Germans scuttled the Bismarck
2:Bismark was sunk by allied ships due to Destroyed ruder
We need a charity and operation to rebuild a Bismarck class battleship.
True.
I miss them.
The Germans can't even build a frigate and not have it list to one side. The Washington Navy Yard buildings that made the American 16 inch naval rifles has been repurposed as offices. You need many thousands of workers and engineers and that is forgotten knowlege, blown by the sands of time into obscurity and legend.

This is one of my favorite songs to date, I like the compilation of the actual song video and other documentaries mixed into one, well done👍
actually most of the clips come from the WoWs CGI trailers
'bismark is one of the powerful ship.'
yamato:did im stutter-
Yep gets killed by HMS Dorsetshire not a surprise since that son of a bitch stole my kill
You keep the allies out of Norway for three years because your mere presence scares them and they send elite pilots to fucking bomb you with 5,200 pound bombs to sink you. Just Tirpitz things.

Not really half the Bri'ish navy force tho
He only took out HMS Hood, damage HMS Prince of Wales and a few ships that try to approach
@Gladwyn Eclarinal well technically the damaged ships were still operational, just not be good in a combat situation which forced them to disengage Bismarck (before Bismarck got more torpedoes up and through his hull)
Only a few ships were damaged (the ships that were in final battle and hood and PoW and maybe Sheffield) But a bunch were sunk later like the Ark Royal (ship that knocked out the rudder) the PoW and the Repulse
@@henrycooper3431 his hood was like half of the British naval force
