Pictures #004,005 and 30 are not of the same ship yet they all claim to be the Bismark in September of 1940. The bow of these ships ar dramatically different.

Hello everyone,
I am hoping that someone out there will be able to direct me to any Bismarck German survivor association.
Many of the German POWS were sent to Canada after being interrogated in England. I am looking for any survivors and/or their diaries that were interned at the POW camp located in Longlac, Ontario, Canada till the end of the war.
Any help is greatly appreciated in this matter. Thanks.

The Bismark was a fantastic ship. Studying about it got me interested in the other battle ships. with all their fire power and dedicated men it is amazing that most of them fell victim to fragile little airplanes.

In fact Lt Cdr Rupert Tillard, along with his observer, my Uncle Mark Somerville, had been killed on 8 May 1941, and did not command 808 Squadron during the Bismark operation.

Some years ago I acquired a WWII German life vest from one of many military collections I have purchased in Europe over the last 30 years. This item was special, as it is stenciled BISMARCK. At the time, I was advised that it was removed prior to the sinking by a pilot of one of the Arados. I assumed that it was removed prior to Bismarck leaving port on her final sortie. Q: Did any Arados manage to cat off the ship and return to base or otherwise get recovered? Most importantly I wish to verify the authenticity of this item. If you can assist, please contact me at the posted email and I will send detailed pics of the vest. Hope you can help. Regards Maurice

If you are a Bismarck fan Beware of this site. If you look at what is written in the forum; very few Bismarck fans and a bunch of anti Bismarck morons.Many idiots trying to defame the Bismarck

Gratulations, one of the best sides 
One of the greatest naval battles in WWII
Mögen Admiral Lütjens, die Offiziere und Mannschaften der Bismarck nie in Vergessenheit geraten. Ich verneige mich vor dem Mut und der Opferbereitschaft.
Ebenso gebührt unsere Hochachtung vor Admiral Sir John Tovey, der den tapferen Kampf der Bismarck in Zeiten des Krieges würdigen konnte.

There is ample mention in the published literature of the addition of the Atlantic bow to the Bismarck after its launch but I have never seen a drawing of the modification or a photograph of the work in progress during the time the new bow was being applied. Any additional information regarding this very visible feature of the Bismarck would be sincerely appreciated.

Regarding the April 2008 Quiz: you need to add a "None of the Above" button---of the three choices available, none were strategically sound. Bismarck was not a suitable commerce raider, and Norway was of no strategic consequence either to the Germans or the British. Raeder's reasons for ordering the breakout were unsound, but the move itself was the only practical one for the German surface fleet. Adding Tirpitz would have increased the urgency with which the British hunted the squadron, and would certainly have changed Tovey's typically hesitant dispositions. Remember that, but for Lutjens' bungling, Bismrack might well have made Brest, where she was an actual danger to the vital convoys of the South Atlantic---with Bismarck, the German Battle Squadron in Brest was sufficient to force the British into further convoy escort commitments from a dwindling supply of capital ships.

With the phenominal advances in film technology, why hasn't a modern movie been developed about this fantastic ship? Thanks to James Cameron for producing a great documentary in 2002. In light of this, someone should develop a story honoring this ship's legend!

Mi primer conocimiento de este excelente barco fue un reportaje de Selecciones de el Reader Digest alla por finales de la decada de los 70 sobre el libro de Ludovic Kenedy y quede realmente impresionado con la historia y desde esa fecha hasta hoy siento un profundo respeto por ambos contendientes y la mision que les toco cumplir excelente sitio, sigan adelante y ojala se siga aumentando informacion conforme se encuentre de este impresionante acorazado Bismarck

I have just a remark regarding these wonderful ships. According Jane´s Fighting Ships 1943/44 edition, originally there were three ships of this class instead of two. The third could not be completed in time before the end of the World War Second, and she was bombed to sunk while she was alongside wharf for completion in the Shipyard in Hamburg.

Werner Lampmann was one of the crew of the Bismark. He had to be taken off the ship for medical reasons before she made her final voyage. If he didnt't get sick, iI would not be here.
