Wreck of the Bismarck
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 кві 2017
- Bismarck was the first of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine. Named after Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, the primary force behind the unification of Germany in 1871, 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.

80 years ago you went down like a legend....We all still remember you....
This is a very impressive clip. The music sounds like Vangelis. It sets a mood of remembrance for all of the men who died in battles on the sea, not only on the Bismarck.
Bismarck is now a lone shrine and tomb for all of whom were lost.
The music transcends the sense of a ship frozen in time. This clip is so truly moving and powerful.
Thank you for the excellent footage and reverent soundtrack.
Yes, and thank you for saying MEN, and not MEN & wo-MEN, even if wo-MEN are now allowed on battle ships they deserve NO mention. Did you know the navy has day care centers on battleships now?
No, I didn't know that, but I'm not surprised. I guess before they do battle they have to make sure the kids have fresh diapers.
@@kenm.3512 And thank you as well for your touching and reverent accolades
@@josephesposito3499 You are very welcome. I just viewed it again for the first time since I posted the initial comment. It is truly moving. I wouldn't change a word. Thanks again.
this ship is a legend..James Cameron should make a movie about it "The Bismarck"
At the bottom of the ocean the depths of the abyss
They are bound by iron and blood
The flagship of the navy the terror of the seas
His guns have gone silent at last...
sabaton
Beautiful poem. All warships are majestic, regardless of who's side they are on. Are you a poet or war HIS-torian? THANKS
Also, I'm glad you called the ship a HE, what's with this bullshit about calling ships she?
@@josephesposito3499 Bismark is the only one that wasn't to my knowledge.
The irony is that all the ships that hunted her down and sank her are all scrapped, they don't exist anymore...….but the Bismarck is still here.
hipcat13 the legend lives on my friend! Also British never actually sunk her. It was the Germans worried that the ship would be captured if they did not scuttle her. She was that tough of a ship that not even three battleships and many more cruisers and destroyers could sink her. It’s amazing that she lies on the ocean floor in one piece especially after she took so much damage, and fell almost three miles down.
@@stevenmoore4612 Actually, the Germans just planted the scuttle bombs but never detonated them. The HMS Dorsetshire finished the Bismarck off with 4 direct torpedo hits at close range, and that's what finished off the Bismarck.
@@stevenmoore4612 Thats bollocks she was sinking already, why don't you watch interviews with her crew
I watch a documentary recently called (Drain the Oceans). When the Bismarck was mentioned it was confirmed from evidence found on the wreck that she was scuttled by her crew.
@@stevenmoore4612 Well ive watched a few and their crew knew they were sinking, so the fact that some crew didnt take the right precautions to keep her up for a bit longer hardly discredits the brits sinking it, she was gone and they knew it. Your comments on capture are nonsense, the brits wanted to sink her and they did, hence over 400 shells hit her.
The Bismarck was well-built German quality give them credit
Steve Allred I watched a program where they said The Bismark had over a thousand shells fired at it. Pretty impressive . German engineering at it's best.
Though she was the enemy, every time I see the Bismarck and read her story I am filled with sadness that such a beautiful and dangerous vessel ended up on the bottom of the ocean, three miles down.
Bismarck, you are a ship of great legend.
Agree with u
RIP brave soldiers. Heartfelt salute to the fallen. May your sacrifice lead the way toward love and peace between nations.
Timotheus157 lol, don’t bullshit, this is nazi Germany
@@wish6150 Well it's not like the soldiers really had a choice
MüsliManTV I agree, but I’m juz trying to say that nazi germany is kinda crazy
@@wish6150 Boo hoo, just because some people were in Nazi Germany doesn't mean all of them were nazies, it's the same thing as saying that every american was Anti-German and wanted to put german soldiers into prisoner camps with no food supplies, just like America did in WW2.
@@thedeadlinger6992 I'd be willing to bet that the majority of them were kids who didn't know any better and thought they were fighting for a patriotic cause
I've always heard arguments about what sunk the KMS Bismark, her scuttling charges or the British torpedoes. Most people don't realize that just about every torpedo protection system FAILED when hit by WW2 torpedoes! Not only had the Explosive Charge weight had increased, but advancements in explosives made each pound or Kilogram much more powerful than the WW1 and 1920's explosive filler......
Personally, I think the reason why she sunk so fast was that both her scuttling and charges inflicted "fatal" damage, and the combination meant that she would go down extremely rapidly .vs. over several minutes....
More than 2,000 lose their life because the British didn't pick them up from the sea. This was the early phase of war. The german U-boat did not blind and they never shot the British ship picking up people from the sea.
What about the +50000 civilian merchant sailors who perished as victims of nazi u-boats and surface ships during WW2? Or the 1600 RN sailors who perished when Scharnhorst & Gneisenau sank HMS Glorious, Acasta and Ardent on 8th June 1940? The 2 German battleships never made even the slightest effort to rescue or assist the drowning RN sailors even though there were no other RN ships in the area. Luckily for the Bismarck, the RN managed to rescue 110 survivors, that is 110 more than the Kriegsmarine saved from HMS Glorious. Or is it only non-British lives lost at sea that you're saddened by?
P.S If you want to see what u-boat captains were capable of then do some reading about Otto Weddigen, and HMS Aboukir, HMS Hogue and HMS Cressy. Educate yourself and lose your misconceptions.
Really?? How about you do a bit of reaserach? The first British ship sunk by a Uboat was SS Athenia in 1939. She was mostly carrying women and children being evacuated to Canada. What a stupid thing to say. The German's had 'unrestricted' submarine warfare meaing anything was a target at any time. Any ship commander would not have taken the risk that close to potential Uboats and German air support when every ship was vital.
Bullied by 5 other ships, decided to hide from them and being left alone.
@Jonah Whale but managed to fuck the Hood
@Jonah Whale like as the germans teamed up in channed Dash...And fucked the RN
@@camaradasargon6965 In your dreams
This is the best tribute video anywhere on here. I can't help but wonder how that battle would have turned out had the Bismark not lost rudder function.
She would have made it to her air cover and then onto her port before the British could have caught her.... And this was before Barnes Wallis had invented the Tallboy bombs that sank KMS Tripitz, so the RAF would have been able to keep her moderately to heavily damaged for a long time, perhaps long enough for HMS Cambeltown to do her thing to the only drydock that was directly on the Atlantic Ocean! Which would have given Wallis enough time to make the Tallboys!!!
@@timengineman2nd714
Sounds like a lot of assumptions.
@@chuckg2016 The air cover is (was?) a given!!! British Intelligence already got wind of a lot of Luftwaffe units moving. (Basically who sending radio messages to who, plus RDF to determine where both units are. And when their next transmission is detected that they have moved!)
The fact that Barnes Wallis had yet develop a Tallboy (12,000 pound) bomb, he had already designed a larger bomb that would, at the time of it's design would require a 6 engine "Victory" bomber. (About the same size as the 22,000 pound Grand Slam, however, please remember that the Merlin Engine had yet to be developed and the Avro Lancaster wasn't even in it's designers' minds!)
So a bit of downsizing of that huge earthquake bomb was all that Wallis had to do and both the Sterling and Halifax bombers could (barely) carry the Tallboy!
@@timengineman2nd714
And all that was in this video, right? I think not, professor.
@@chuckg2016 I was in Bristol, England when a LOT of formerly Classified Information about the Hunt for the Bismark was released....
It's called research, and I still do it over 45 years later!
I get so emotional when I see that wreck..
I know the Germans had to be defeated, with the rest of the Axis powers, but some beautiful ships were Destroyed (I know they had to be) like the Bismarck, Tirpitz, Yamato, and the Masashi. I have 350 Scale models of these Battleships plus The Beautiful American Battleships New Jersey and Missouri.
Excellent hobby. And yes beautiful, majestic ships all of them, even the enemy of my enemy is my friends warship.
The Leviathan comes to rest
Greatest ship of all time. It took whole of RAF and navy to take her down 💪💪
He
Whole navy you're kidding right? This was only a fraction of the Royal Navy at the time... RN had 15 battleships in WW2 alone.
Who performs the music? I want to get a CD of it. Thank you.
Very good!!
That must have been one hell of a well built ship. I also noticed there aren't many rusticles like those covering the Titanic. I've always wondered if the Brits sank her or the Germans scuttled her
quacksackerthegreat Starfire she was scuttled. The British actually “sinking” her was a British lie to boost their pride. Plus it would be embarrassing to say that many British battleships couldn’t sink one German ship. Even though that was the reality. Bismarck was a tough nut to crack, and just shows how well she was built!
The British spent about an hour pounding away at the Bismarck, even closing the range. This meant there was no plunging fire and the shell hits were all above the waterline. Her torpedo belt was very strong and she had too many compartments for a couple of torpedo hits to give her a fatal wound. She was scuttled.
The same goes for the Scharnhorst too, since captain Bey knew with her battle damage that she wasn’t going to make it back to Norway. He also ordered his crew to scuttle her. They really shouldn’t send capital battleships out on lone missions in waters where many British ships were patrolling. The fate of the Bismarck and Scharnhorst are perfect examples of why you need task forces and not send them alone.
@@stevenmoore4612 They pounded her to shit, if they helped her on her way down its because they were losing lives all around in a devastating way. She was going down regardless
@@stevenmoore4612 Bismarck's crew actually scuttled a 51000 ton mountain of sinking, flaming scrap metal. All guns silenced, her superstructure devastated, her main armour belt broken in several places along her port side, her command staff obliterated, internally aflame from end to end, her stern and port gunwales already underwater and hundreds of her crew already in the water behind her.... All the scuttling did was to sink her a few minutes earlier than was already happening.
In the world of boxing the crew's scuttling efforts are what is known as "throwing in the towel", submission of a boxer when he has been punched senseless by a more powerful & skillful opponent, and only a wehraboo fool would say, "the loser wasn't beaten, he gave in before he was annihilated.", when the truth is the loser had his arse handed to him on a plate.
This would be a perfect clip for a webinar I am doing about the Bismarck for the Commemorative Air Force on Wednesday. I am not being paid and the CAF is a non-profit organization. Can you provide permission for me to show it? Can I get a mpg of it?
I wish that the british didnt attack bismarck, this is sadder than titanic
So Sad - all those lives and many, many Panther tanks & Type 21 U-boats that didn't get built ...
At the end of the video it states “Music by Electric Astronaut” however I can’t find the recording? What is the name of this Music? Thank you
Can you please tell me the title of the song played?. I cannot get it with Shazam. Many thanks
What is the soundtrack??
I’ve been trying to find out myself without any luck at all ☹️
Hms hood lost 1500 lives and over 2000 on Bismark it was said the age of the battleship was over and with that loss of life that's why
Not really, it ended because Carriers were more effective
Somebody please explain, why no rusticles??
R.I.P. great soldiers you died for a good cause to make the world a better place and you made a big step in the right direction
a good cause....
Idk about Good Cause but they died as Soldier's and should be respected as loyal Soldiers
So Hitler was a good cause????
Does anyone know what the music is
how real is that is
Took down by a outdated British WW1 plane. This story is Legendary. I wonder if that plane is on display some where? In any case Good Job Britain.
Um, it was slowed down, not sunk, the credit goes to HMS Rodney
Also the aircraft were not World war 1 they were interwar aircraft made in the mid 1930s
Saundtrack?name is clip
Deliberately leaving out the German emblem that is still completely visible on the deck ! Pathetic
They would limit the video's reach. You can't show that emblem in Germany.
Most fucked up abd gang banged battleship in History
Deutsche sind die besten u-boot 1 und 2 Weltkrieg geverfertigen, aber die Kriegsschiffe sind schlechteres von die Konkurenten. Warum ? Nicht weiss.
Deutsche men had bests submarines made in 1 and 2 WOW, but warships are worses of the competitors. Why ? Dont know.

Deutsche Sprache schwere Sprache.
the ships were great..the Bismarck blew away the Hood
