Deseo felicitarles por el simple hecho de que den a conocer al mundo uno de los mejores navios nunca construidos el "BISMARCK", siempre senti admiracion por este navio y pena por la perdida del mismo, ningun barco de los construidos hoy, arquitectonicamente y en cuanto a caracteristicas de resistencia se le puede comparar, y han pasado muchos lustros. Felicitaciones por su buena pagina.

Congratulations on an excellent site. Having just seen James Cameron's documentary on the Bismarck wreck, I was interested in learning more. This is a fascinating and tragic story. The number of men lost on The Bismarck and The Hood is heart wrenching - may they never be forgotten and rest in peace.

I am inquiring for a dear friend wether anyone may recognize the name Arther Hoppe. It is beleived that he went down with Bismarck as all correspondence with him ended after the sinking. He is not currently listed on the crew roster.

A truly exceptional site, informative and compelling.. have for some time been interested in Bismarck, Hood and Tirpitz. Have received Model kits of both Bismarck and Hood for Christmas and then by chance the UK Channel 4 documentary regarding the expedition to locate/relocate the ships and also find this site (how spooky is that?) Thanks for such a good resource will try to donate to its upkeep.

What a shame all these brave men had to die. Goverments make war not people. All the same, what a wonderfull ship that the Germans built. And then look at the british ship the Hood, five hits and gone! and all the poor lads that sank with it. God bless them all German and British.

I am very sorry for all the seamen who gave their lives for their country. My favorite song is "Sink The Bismarck" because it shows how brave the Germans were.

Would like to purchase a Bismarck model Battleship 1/350 motorized. Would be great if already assembled. Would like to put the swastika on it, since this is how it was built and i dislike changing history for any reason.

Just finished reading Battleship Bismarck written by Baron Burkard von Mullenheim Rechberg who was a surviving officer off Bismarck when she went down. It was excellent and truthful.

A first class web site. It is a tribute to all those who lost their lives. It should never, ever be forgotten. I shall be returning often.
My father was a Kriegsmarine on a Minesweeper - he told many many times of the great battle that took place - this sight brings it in to sharp focus. - Congratulations!

Hey, nice website. I've been interested in battleships of the second world war for a while and i believe the Bismarck was one of the best. To the sailors who served and died aboard the Bismarck, may God bless your souls.

The Bismarck the best designed warship ever made if they didn't get lucky and hit the rudder it would still be around. God bless the water grave of the dead sailors.

I have always been fasinated by the Bismarck. The engineering of the ship appears to be superior to all ships of that type. I hope to garner the latest factual data and better understand how it was defeated.
Thanks for putting the facts together.

Truly a turning point in the war, without which I might be speaking German now. But how tragic that when his ship was crippled [by a lucky torpedo hit] and the outcome of the battle was abundantly clear to all combatents, the German admiral chose to sacrifice the lives of what was left of his crew in the name of "Der Fuhrer". In the circumstances, scuttling the ship and surrendering would have been a more honourable course of action. Fanatics are always dangerous, regardless of their creeds.

I have been fascinated by the story of the Battle of Denmark Strait since I was old enough to read. The Bismarck was a ship of contrasts; beautiful and deadly at the same time. Congratulations on a great web site.

While stationed in Berlin about 1974 or 1975, I shared my table at a cafe on Kurfurstendamm with an elderly gentleman. He said that he was in Berlin for a reunion with his shipmates of the Bismarck. Being an historian, I was stunned but enjoy an absolutely wonderful conversation with a truly great man. I do not remember his name but he wore a CPO like jacket and martime type hat. Is there anyway to find out who he was and if he is still alive? His story was simply fascinating.

Great site, but does anyone know what happened to the bodies of the crew of the Tirpitz the sister ship which was demolished by a salvage company in Norway in 1949. They should have been treated with honor and dignity befitting men who fought for their country.

Glad the truth about how this great ship was sunk finally was brought out due to Cameron's expedition. If it had not been for the lucky hit by those brave pilots that launched the torpedoes that crippled Bismarck's rudder she probably would have unleashed unbelievable destruction on worlwide shipping. Glad the world know knows that The Dorsetshire's torpedoes did not sink this truely unsinkable engineering masterpiece!

To all those poor souls lost in the battle of the Atlantic and the remainder of the War. I envy all who fought for their freedom and their country, and may this be a constant reminder how Wars separate each of us, a time when the world loses sanity.

Last night, I saw the Discovery Channel's program on the Bismarck and was especially moved, not only by the sights of the wreck, but also by the survivors' stories. The epic battle between Bismarck and the Royal Navy stands in history as one of those unforgettable moments. I especially liked how the German survivors described the treatment they received when the British sailors pulled them, frozen and wounded, from the North Atlantic and treated them as "friends."

Thank you. So often, so many things are lost with the passage of time until all that remains is the precious incommunicable past. You and your web site will undoubtedly slow the grains of sand as they pass through the glass. Human conflict, and the horrors that accompany it have always been, and will continue to be with us. Your site is a memorial and tribute to those who perished as well as a reminder to future generations of what may lie ahead in the arena of human conflict.

A very detailed and accurate description of the "Bismark" - the best that I've ever seen. Although I was born more than 10 years after the events of May, 1941, the story of the "Bismark" is one that has intrigued me ever since I first became aware of it (40 years ago). My compliments! *S* Maybe it's because I'm half-German; maybe because it's just a very powerful story; or maybe it's because your attention to detail is wonderful!
