      @@VikingReacts The video CGI is pretty accurate about the details of the Bismark, the Hood, the sinking, gun turrets coming off etc. Amazing stuff, made by the gaming studio behind World of Warships. And the Bismark was sunk by it's own crew, to prevent it being capured.

    • @SetchDreskar
      @SetchDreskar 3 роки тому +14

      @@impugnu7852 Indeed the only aspect incorrect about the bismarck sinking itself, and what gives evidence of the German crew being the one to sink it and not the insane amounts of damage put into the ship before, is that the Bismarck's bow slipped under the water first, which is what you see when crews scuttle the ship, and then it slipped under which caused it to rocket forward due to the way it slips through the water [think of squeezing a bar of soap underwater] and then it rolled over flipping its turrets out while it was already underwater.
      This is also what made locating the Bismarck so difficult because it didn't roll and then sink and thus was in a certain search radius of where it sank, but because of it rocketing forward underwater it was miles away from where it should have been.
      Other then that the video was incredibly accurate to what happened during the battle.

Like in the first battle (Denmark Strait), they had them on the wrong side of each other, and in the final battle, they show a Town-class shooting at the Bismarck, when it should have been a County-class, and they could have used the ship model for Nelson to stand in for Rodney.

    @argantyr5154 3 роки тому +7

    In the beginning of the Video, you can hear the Radio in the beginning, when the are driving is talking about How the Bismarck have blown up the "The might cruiser Hood"
    That lead to the British Navy got the message that Bismarck must be destroyed at all costs and lead to Battle of The Denmark Strait.
    The Kriegsmarine was Nazi Germanys Navy.
    The Video was made with help from the company behind "World of Tanks" that needed some material to their game "World of Warships". And yes Sabaton really played on a boat in the "middle of nowhere".

    "From Wiki"
    (just a short version).
    Bismarck was the first of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine. Named after Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, the ship was laid down at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg in July 1936 and launched in February 1939. Work was completed in August 1940, when she was commissioned into the German fleet. Bismarck and her sister ship Tirpitz were the largest battleships ever built by Germany, and two of the largest built by any European power.
    In the course of the warship's eight-month career under its sole commanding officer, Captain Ernst Lindemann, Bismarck conducted only one offensive operation, lasting 8 days in May 1941, codenamed Rheinübung. The ship, along with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, was to break into the Atlantic Ocean and raid Allied shipping from North America to Great Britain. The two ships were detected several times off Scandinavia, and British naval units were deployed to block their route. At the Battle of the Denmark Strait, the battlecruiser HMS Hood initially engaged Prinz Eugen, probably by mistake, while HMS Prince of Wales engaged Bismarck. In the ensuing battle Hood was destroyed by the combined fire of Bismarck and Prinz Eugen, which then damaged Prince of Wales and forced her retreat. Bismarck suffered sufficient damage from three hits to force an end to the raiding mission.
    The destruction of Hood spurred a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy involving dozens of warships. Two days later, heading for occupied France to effect repairs, Bismarck was attacked by 16 obsolescent Fairey Swordfish biplane torpedo bombers from the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal; one scored a hit that rendered the battleship's steering gear inoperable. In her final battle the following morning, the already-crippled Bismarck was severely damaged during a sustained engagement with two British battleships and two heavy cruisers, was scuttled by her crew, and sank with heavy loss of life. Most experts agree that the battle damage would have caused her to sink eventually. The wreck was located in June 1989 by Robert Ballard, and has since been further surveyed by several other expeditions..
    All Sabaton songs are about historical events, mainly Battles, Heroes/ Act of Heroism / Famous last stands etc.
    You should really check out their History Channel, The have a Historian (Indy Neidell) talking about the story behind their songs, and Indy is really amazing storyteller and they do have a video about Bismarch and how this Video was made).

    Scuttling a ship is easy. In the Engineering spaces, the main engines are steam turbines and need large quantities of seawater to condense the steam back into water to be returned to the boilers. Small charges on the sea chests feeding this seawater to the engines, thus flooding the engine rooms. This I know from being an engineer on a Nimitz class carrier.

    Sabaton is one of the best bands in the industry and that's an undeniable fact. Love em or hate em but no one does it like them. And Bismarck is a special song on top of its absolute epicness because the topic has been requested by fans so much that they felt like they couldn't just put it on an album so they released it as a single and had that mega collab with that game production company that made the battle ship game, I believe?
    Also the Bismarck is rumored to have been titled as male instead of the usual female for ships because it was just so special and was the most advanced battle ship of his time, I believe. Not an expert on the topic although I'm German but yeah.
    You're amazing by the way! Absolutely love that you put the lyrics into the videos, love the random history facts. That's how a reaction video should be done ❤️ Mad probs to you!
    My favorite music genres are metal, Kpop and classical music and whenever I watch Kpop reaction videos (with 99% of the songs obviously in Korean) most of the people reacting to it don't care to google the translations of the lyrics first and then say things like "Aw I can't understand what they're singing/rapping about because I don't know Korean". Yeah, no shit Sherlock... But that simultaneously lead to several lyric connected points going straight over their heads and that's just so sad because so many songs are not only absolute bangers but have so much meaning regarding the lyrics. It's just a waste.
    So thanks so much for the way you do it. I'm a fan ❤️

    A running theory is that once it was obvious that they would not win that naval battle, the Germans apparently blew up the main battery to skuttle the ship so it wouldn’t fall into ally hands.

    Let me help you get the historical facts straight, which you begin to outline around 11:25. Yes, there were two ships of the Bismarck class. Bismarck and Tirpitz. But no, not both of them were on this mission. it had originally been intended, but RAF bombing runs delayed the completion of Tirpitz's construction and also damaged several other cruisers that were supposed to participate in that mission. Originally "Operation Rheinübung" was supposed to be comprised of both battleships and i think 4 or 5 heavy cruisers. Just imagine what damage that battlegroup could have done to the supply convoys that kept Britain alive.... But it was not to be. The window of opportunity for the mission was rapidly closing, and thus high command ordered the mission to go ahead with the only two operational ships: Bismarck and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. Also, Prinz Eugen was not sunk in this operation - and in fact it survived the entirety of the war. After the war it was used by the US as target in nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll - and even then it refused to sink - at first anyway.
    Tirpitz spent most of its time in various fjords around Norway until it was eventually sunk by the RAF. While it existed, Tirpitz was a constant and major headache to the British, because they knew from the Battle of the Denmark Strait and the subsequent effort necessary to sink the Bismarck, how much of a threat Tirpitz's mere presence in the area posed to allied operations - not the least of which being the arctic convoys.

    Fun fact: they originally wanted to use the USS New Jersey as a stand in for the Bismarck, but due to the expense and red tape to make that happen, they decided to have Wargaming recreate it in CG. Also, there's a theory that the Bismarck was scuttled by the crew because video of it sinking shows it slipping beneath the waves and that the British couldn't actually sink it.

  • @Viking.warrior.94
    @Viking.warrior.94 3 роки тому

    Since you are into facts about this. The "enlisted crew" were in fact volunteers from all of Germany. And maritime law dictates that a ship is called a She, not the bismarck the admiralty of the KMS didn't want to dishonor the name of Otto Von Bismarck (Germany's first Reichs chanceller) so they called this ship in male call sign. Therefore the lyrics, "HE WAS MADE TO RULE THE WAVES ACROSS THE SEVEN SEAS"

    [live at Woodstock 2012]: 40:1 and Uprising
    [Great Tour Live Videos]: En Livstied I Krieg (make sure to turn subtitles on, Red Baron, Swedish Pagans, Primo Victoria, Fields of Verdun, Devil Dogs & Angels Calling
    [Lyric videos]: Attack of the dead men, In Flanders Fields, 82nd All the way, Sparta, Shiroyama and The lost betallion
    [Music Video's]: Fields of Verdun, Rourke's Drift, Screaming Eagles, Uprising & Seven Pillars of wisdom
    [Animated History Video's]: Night Witches and No Bullets Fly (not animated music video's, the animated history/story video's)
    [Covers]: Kingdom Come - Deliverance
    and I'm sure people told you but in case, Sabaton have another channel (Sabaton History Channel) where they do a deep dive into the history behind the songs with Indy Nidell.
    Then they have the Metal celebration trilogy:
    Metal Machine (lyrics made up of out of song names) ua-cam.com/video/AvRZxn7e3hc/v-deo.html
    Metal Crüe (lyrics made up out of band names) ua-cam.com/video/6bKwflpbCYk/v-deo.html
