Historical Significance: The Legend of the Bismarck

The Bismarck was a marvel of 1940s maritime technology, displacing over 50,000 tons when fully loaded.¹ Its short but explosive career defined the naval warfare of the era.

• Operation Rheinübung: In May 1941, the Bismarck embarked on a mission to break out into the Atlantic and disrupt Allied supply chains.

• The Battle of the Denmark Strait: On May 24, 1941, the Bismarck engaged the British fleet.³ In a stunning display of gunnery, a shell from the Bismarck struck the HMS Hood, causing a massive explosion that sank the pride of the Royal Navy in minutes.

• The Final Pursuit: Following the sinking of the Hood, the Royal Navy mobilized every available asset to hunt down the Bismarck. A fateful torpedo hit from a Swordfish biplane jammed the ship’s rudder, leading to its final stand on May 27, 1941.
