Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The battleship Bismarck, the pride of the Nazi navy, was thought, like the ill-fated Titanic, to be unsinkable. When it left port in May 1941, even the formidable British navy professed to be nervous, and the rallying cry "Sink the Bismarck!" was born. Amazingly, just two weeks into its maiden voyage, the Bismarck was spotted, torpedoed, and sunk by the British in the North Atlantic, an almost unbelievable turn of events--as crucial a turning point in World War II for the Germans, according to one survivor interviewed in this video, as Pearl Harbor was for the Americans. In 1989 Dr. Bob Ballard, the man who discovered the Titanic, and a crew painstakingly searched a 100-square-mile area off France, and after some heartbreaking near misses, ultimately found the remains of the once-glorious ship. The video cuts effectively between historic footage, interviews with British and German survivors, and scenes from the Ballard expedition, expertly woven together to paint a complete portrait of the sinking and its aftermath. Fans of Titanic and World War II buffs especially will be fascinated. --Anne Hurley

Synopsis
The Bismark was the German navy's most powerful vessel, it was sunk in May 1941, and with it more than two thousand lives were lost.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good documentary which deserves a DVD version., 7 Jul 2002
By A Customer
Naional Geographic really should consider transfering all of its Robert Ballard documentaries to DVD as they are so entertaining as well as informative. This 53 minute documentary follows the same formula as Dr Ballard's other documentaries on the Titanic,Luisitania and others. It details his search for the Battleship Bismark while switching back and forth from that search to very interesting film of the 1940's,showing the ship and it's crew and the search for them by the British navy.
It details the destruction of the Bismark,even showing distant footage of it burning on the horizon. A very intersting bit of history.
