    Thank you SO MUCH for including that Admiral Lutjens ordered the scuttling of Bismarck. Too many "old school" historians will not admit that fact (that has been confirmed now for almost 20 years). Just to correct you a bit the crew had previously placed explosive charges on the Admirals orders as a "just in case" measure. After being decimated by point blank shelling and torpedo runs and still afloat, Lutjens issued the order to scuttle Bismarck. The sea cocks were opened and the charges detonated resulting in the clean separation of the stern approximately half way through the aft swastika pendant painted on his deck. Huge WW2 history geek here too. Particularly Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of the Denmark Strait, and the European theatre. Also when Bismarck and Prinz Eugen engaged Hood and Prince of Wales, the Brits opened fire on Eugen first mistaking Prinz for Bismarck as their silhouette were similar and from what I have read, researched and viewed Bismarck did not cross the T. Both sides were firing broadsides (though the German positioning did prevent the Brits from actively using their aft turrets - Bismarck and Prinz were further ahead) from a distance of 24 miles Bismarck, on her second salvo landed the shot that killed 1415 men and left only 3 survivors. Prince of Wales landed a round into one of Bismarck's fuel tanks forcing the course correction towards Breast and right into the path of Ark Royals Swordfish torpedo planes. There is a fantastic 2 part documentary from Channel 4 in the UK called Battle of the Hood and Bismarck. Very worth hunting down if you havent seen it ;)

      @@TheBlackob other than the survivors, physical evidence from the wreck itself. Nothing "official" Watch James Camerons documentary on the Bismark. He goes over the ship with mini subs and drones. They show numerous locations of shells impacted but not breaking. They show the belt where the torpedos hit. They show behind that torpedo belt and the inner armour that isnt broken or open. Meaning it wasnt flooding. It shows the broken rudder that was hit by a torpedo. Once you see the ship, surprisingly in very decent condition, considering the over 2000 shells
      fired at it. You will also come to the conclusion that it was not sunk. Look, its not saying that the COULDNT be sunk. Or that nothing the allies did could stop that ship. No, it was quite handly beaten in that engagement. No, it was still floating, and the Germans didnt want the ship to be captured, there was an enigma machine on board, and I dont recall if the Allies had cracked it yet, and if they had, the germans didnt know it was cracked. The Bismark sunk....by order.

    Regarding the CGI: Sabaton has an ongoing cooperation with the gaming company War Gaming. They specialize in WW2 tanks and warships (World of Tanks, and World of Warships, respectively), so they have accurate models for the ships, water/wave/battle simulations etc. already and it's relatively easy for them to produce such videos. Still a lot of work for sure but they didn't need to start from scratch.

      I agree it looks more like HMS Prince Of Wales, if you pause the video and compare images of the two ships it's quite clear.

    It's about _your reaction_ to the things you see in the vid, not a "watch-the-video-together"-format with no pausing at all (copyright issues aside). If you would keep your thoughts until the end of the video, most details and bits that you catched during the video will be lost and the reaction will contain just an aftermath/summary. So please keep pausing whenever it may be convenient to share your thoughts with us - it's _your_ channel, _your_ format, _your_ style. People that are complaining about pausing too often, miss what these videos are about and better stick with the original versions. So even with my bad English (50yo German dude, who never had a lesson) I'd encourage you to keep talking about your opinions/impressions/experiences.

    Also, Sabaton is perhaps the best war history band out there. All their songs are about military history or combat in general. They have a bunch of great songs.

    The ship in the sights of the Bismark is the HMS Prince of Whales. You can tell by the boxy super structure of the King George V class and the three turrets. Two quad 14" guns and one double, which was the only one that worked during the battle because she was so new.

    Isnt the british battleship in the first scene a King George V Class ship? If I saw correctly it only got 3 turrets, and i think almost every ww2 BB of Britain had this Gap in the ship.

    I knew this was going to be a good reaction when you started to comment on the compass. Seeing at least 50 different reactions tho this video, you are the only one that got the connection between the captain of the fishing boat and the young sailor. I am a history nerd too and am very familiar with the history of the battle of the Denmark Strait, the pursuit by the British fleet, and the gruesome end. But you managed to learn me a thing or two, your knowledge is fantastic!

    14:15 Okay, so lots of stuff to talk about here. First, that is not the Hood, but one of the King-George-V-call battleships. From the storytelling it's probably the HMS Prince of Wales, which accompanied Hood on her final and fatal voyage. Note the distinct boxy conning tower, that is characteristic for the WW2 ERA British battleships, as compared to the old style found on Hood and the pre-refit Queen Elizabeths.
    Also Hood never had a plane on board, and also didn't have that gap.
    Thanks for listening!

    Just coming back to this one after having you recommended. Sabaton are an amazing group and these videos are absolutely killer. Although I'm 7 years younger than you, reading Sinking of the Bismark (followed almost immediately by Bob Ballard's The Discovery of the Bismark) was quite a lesson in history was definitely part of my entry into Military History like you. Seeing my love of metal and history combined (hell, part of why I love Iron Maiden too) is just such a joy and it's awesome to see you geeking out (as I did) watching this and the other Sabaton videos.

  • @huey-fan8335
    @huey-fan8335 3 года назад +4

    Great Reaction! Something to the sinking of the Hood : Bismarcks shell didn't go through the deck armor, at the range the hit occurred the shells trajectories wouldn't exceed 16 degrees (from the horizontal)! The 15 inch Magazines of the Hood were sourrounded by refitted 4 inch Magazines /Storages! And if a shell from Bismarck would manage to go to/near the Engine room and explode there (then the shell wouldn't have to go thru the 305 mm of belt armour, which was very low in the water btw) the splinters could easily reach the 4 inch Magazines which then could set off the 15 inch Magazines!! But there are many theories regarding the sinking of the Hood!
    The Video was shot in Turkey, the Harbour was in Istanbul, and the fishing boat is the Karadeniz B!
    The second ship you talk about at about the half of Video is NOT the Hood! It is the HMS Prince of Wales! Remember... At the beginning the Hood is already told to be sunk! If you want to ask something about the Bismarck or the Video here, feel free to ask I have many books regarding it here at home! Greetings from Germany

The ship on screen has 3 turrets but the same 'gap' for a plane. You are looking at a King George V class battleship. I too am a massive WW2 naval history nerd! Big up the nerds!

    Interesting fact: You were using "she" when speaking about the Bismarck but in the song you can hear "he was built..." which is actually accurate because I think Hitler himslef decided that they will refer to Bismarck as to him instead of traditional her.

I recently got to know Sabaton from a co-worker, in which he was hired 4 weeks ago. He recommended I check out this band because of their historical relevance. I listened to their top 5 on spotify and I was enthralled. Now that I came across your reaction to this one music video. I will enjoy every next one to Sabaton. I will pass on your feed to my coworker. Hopefully he will be well endowed to your feedback. I'm hooked. FYI, I'm a scaffold foreman studying nutrition at the University in NM. Quite odd but just right for the presevernce.
