I'm a 41 year old graduate from Florida State University with a bs in history.I have been interested in the Bismarck since I was in middle school.I was watching James Cameron's Expidition Bismarck the other night on the discovery channel and my love for the great ship was reborn.I decided to write a screenplay about her maiden voyage and bring her story to the big screen.Once I started searching the web,I was stunned to find so many sights dedicated to the vessel I loved and admired as a kid growing up.Seeing her on the bottom the other night gave me goosebumps, as well as, brought a tear to my eye.I also swelled with pride, when James Cameron proved once and for all that she was scuttled and not sunk by the Royal Navy.Long live the Bismarck and long live her galant crew, may they rest in peace together in their icy eternal graves.

I'm glad to see this site is still going strong, as well as the memory and awareness of this great ship's tragedy. Today, in 1941, she and her crew put up one hell of a fight against overwhelming odds... a fight that should always be remembered as the greatest naval chase ever embarked on.

My parents and I saw a Discovery Channel show on the Bismarck. I was so interested in the ship and the wreck I asked my parents to go online (I'm only 6) for more information. This web site has it all - Thank you,

Desde joven lei mucho acerca del Bismarck como asi tambien de otras unidades navales de la KM, en especial del U-556, muy relacionado con la historia del buque.
La pagina es excepcional, el trabajo de investigacion y el espiritu puesto para hacerla posible hacen que todos aquellos que disfrutamos de la lectura debamos decir: Felicitaciones y Gut Gematch.

I think the Bismarck should have been in the modern museum of art as it was such a beautiful design! Its Captain and crew for a new battleship on their first engagement were exceptional in their ability to fight and evade.

Like the Colonel I also think that the Bismarck was the most beautiful warship of all time. I have 2 questions. I heard that the two mushroom shaped pods were for radar that was used to aim the main guns. Is this correct? If so wouldn't that put the Bismarck's design well ahead of its time?
I have also come across a story that the Bismarck had a ships cat. The cat was picked up from the wreckadge by the HMS Cossack after the sinking. About 5 months later the Cossack was sunk and the cat was rescued again. It ended up on the Ark Royal. Later the Ark Royal was torpedoed and the cat was rescued again. The cat was then retired to the Sailors Home in Belfast where it died in 1955. Can any Bismarck survivor verify that the Bismarck had a ship's cat? If true this is an interesting sidebar to the Bismarck's history.
OK, make that 3 questions.

Potenza e bellezza vanno di pari passo in questa nave....Soprattutto, il coraggio e il valore non hanno bandiera, e in quanto tali meritano rispetto. Anche se l'era delle grandi navi da battaglia è ormai tramontata, la Bismarck e il suo equipaggio sono ancora lì a ricordarne la gloria. Riposate in pace.

Fabulous site. Found the reconstructed and translated war diaries so interesting that we could have stayed on-line for days reading them. Also found some of the (scratch-built) models incredible!

To me, it was the most beautiful ship of all time. Would like to donate kit to reunion group if they would like it.(would need address). The Baron's book was extremely interesting, and I would not part with it.

A very well done site, I am most impressed. I am a firm believer that the Bismarck is the greatest ship to ever sail; sail what you will about the Nazi Regime, they knew how to build a ship!

Even if the Germans were our enrmies during WW2, let it never be said that they lacked courage and valor. They were respected foes. The Bismarck went down flags flying and guns smoking. A good way for a fighting ship to die. It may be that the crewmen who went with it is in vallhala.

No question but that you have an excellent website.nIt could be enhanced a bit more if you included in your sub-title "Battleships of the Time", the new American battleship (1941) USS North Carolina to add for comparison.

Bismarck will live forever.Fighting against all Odds & yet she couldn't be sunk by her enemies as recently proved by Dr. Ballard. I wonder why she was alone especially on her last sortie. The outcome would have been different if she had a companion & if she had a similar companion German Navy could have done "another Hood"
Perhaps Corporal Hitler prevailed over the Admirals.
