@@scorpionc773 fun fact: Lindemann was hitting his knee because he had an injury. His knee really hurt, but Lindemann didn't want to stop singing and found out, when hitting his knee the pain would stop. After he recovered from the injury he didn't stop cause it got so popular and quite a symbol of him
there are 2 things about the Bismarck that always thrill me, #1 the Anti-Air batteries were too modern at the time to catch slow moving bi-plane-torpedo-bombers (we're talking sixteen 105mm anti-air guns as main air defense) #2 the lucky hit itself, to step into a Swordfish that has a torpedo attached to it and fly towards some might refer as "actual Metal God" is mental, but to land the critical strike on the Bismarck's rudder so it got stuck, and the battleship was destined to sail in circles, til the Royal Navy backup arrived. sorry but this story needs a modern day movie. f*ck the titanic.
@@whateveryousay3996 The Fairy Swordfish is made with a metal frame that is covered in fabric. The AA shells would just go in on one side, and come out from the other side without arming...
Here's the thing about the Bismark's rudder. They had noted it as a flaw that a hit anywhere *near* the rudder would get it stuck. They didn't even need to hit the rudder, just get close, and they could hit further since it was a torp. That rudder was literally the achilles heel of the entire ship, and the Kreigsmarine ignored it because they wanted it as part of a fleet, not alone.
I love how you're so into Sabaton and you haven't even reacted to Carolus Rex yet. Just wait until you do. And did know that their drummer Hannes is married to Floor from Nightwish?
There are two curiosities: 1) The one who played the role of captain, is really the last survivor of the crew that was on the battle ship. 2) The clock marks the exact coordinates of where the ship sank, and that the front of the ship, points towards Germany.
I search fo this when the video came out, but the only info i found said that the last survivor of the bismarck passed away in 2012 or so Do you have more info about this?
I can’t be the only one who gets chills down their spine when Bismarck cuts through the fog. His reign was short, but the King Of The Ocean will never be forgotten.
Dont have Bismarck in WoWs, but I do have Legos... So I built a Lego Bismarck while blasting the fuck out of this song. Its currently sitting behind my monitor on a shelf which is not quite long enough for it...
Sabaton : Respect for the warfighters on all sides. Respect for the young men who endured horrors we'll never know, just doing what they were told; doing what they honestly believed in and thought was right.
Fields of Execution Turned a wasteland from the grass Thou shalt go no further It was said "they shall not pass!" Thats short teaser from fields of verdun, you can find it on youtube :D
Somehow the great war has become relevant....so many factors. Probably ppl r getting bit tired of ww2 and how usa won it. Which they didn't but they think they did. Luckily we have Sabaton who tells stories from all sides....
What makes Sabaton my favorite bands is their musicianship. I first saw them live in Denver, opening for Nightwish. At the end of their set the lead singer noticed a 10yo girl in the balcony, and said " See metal is for everyone, you need a souvenir." He then took off his sun glasses and tossed them to her. That's when I realized Sabaton is something special. I will always be a fan.
Wargaming - World of Warships Producer: Do you want us to make an animated battle between Bismarck and other ships and planes, with real actors? Sabaton: Do you think we would say Nein or Niet?
When Babymetal had one of their bigger shows in Japan last year, Sabaton was an opening band and Sabaton also did a little collaboration with Babymetal. Really like how bands help promote other bands.
Wow has two model sets their modelers work on. One is the game set and other for cinematic, these are obviously not from the Game set. So like I said, provided by. I wish the game ships looked this good.
Funfact: They shot more then 2000 shells on the bismark and scored over 400 direct hits while 1 1/2h battle ( 7 vs 1). Last "lifesign" from the Bismarck after getting torped the second time was a last shot from the 3rd, last oporational main canonturret. ~1900 from over 2000 men lost thair life during that hell of an fight, 3/4 of them drowned in the sea after obendening the ship. Only 115 sailors were rescued by the british fleet. PS.: Sry for my bad english, feel free to correct me and i edit it.
Its a sad fact how may people went down with the ship, from what I understand the British left after reports of Submarine sightings son it was a choice between saving the german sailors and risk losing ships to Torpedo fire or leave the sailors to the sea. Not a choice I would ever want to have to make
Another fun fact: She still was not damaged enough to sink (directly that is, given enough time without repairs would slowly go under), so the crew scuttled her so she wouldn't fall into enemy hands.
KimiF17954 there’s a whole bunch of penetration. The superstructure is a wreck, all of the turret completely disabled. But there’s not a single shell penetrating important part amidships(machinery, engine, magazine, etc) thanks to the turtleback armor.
@@samuelleahy4780 Yeah it did, because that one Torpedo hit the rudder of the Bismarck. At every other point of the ship, the Torpedo would not even have scratched the armor. But because of that lucky hit, the Bismarck was only able to drive in a circle, then the soldiers on the Bismarck sunk the ship themselves. Also, there were several british battleships shooting at the Bismarck at this point.
@@montagistkacke7431 Plus pretty much bismarck sacrificed their AA guns to shoot fast moving targets and not slow ones. So the AA wasn't really effective either

@@michaeld.uchiha9084 they wore the swastika, they flew the swastika, they fought for hitler, guilty by association. You can pretend otherwise but facts are facts snowflake ❄️❄️❄️
You forgot to mention that Sabaton not only produce these amazing “movies”, but also a second video to every song with a historian who explains the historical facts behind it. THAT is not another level, that is another planet.
Please listen to 'En Livstid I Krig' By Sabaton. (Yes, the swedish version with translation. The english version is awesome too, but the swedish lyrics feel much more meaningful in my opinion)
Totally agree! The english version is great, but the swedish... just amazing. Feels way more personal and goes way deeper. My favourite song of them so far.
Izumi Nishikino it’s kinda ironic since the Bismarck was technically, if I’m correct, the only male ship built in history. I’m not sure whether there were any other male ships but you could say that Bismarck was one of the few male ships in history
Pride of a nation A Beast made of steel Bismarck in motion. King of the Ocean He was made to rule the waves across the seven seas. To lead war machine, rule the waves and lead the Kriegsmarine The terror of the seas The Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine
The small details about this are incredible. Like how the torpedos explode, or how it shows the turret falling out when the Bismarck flips over. But most importantly how the sailors are all so young. It's easy to think of men fighting in WW2, but more realistically, they were just boys- many just 18 years old....
One of the things that helps with their more recent production is their partnership with Wargaming, the makers of the World of Tanks/Planes/Warship games.
I'm so glad you liked sabaton. They are my favorite metal band I've seen them 2 times in Arizona and going to see them again this October Sabaton for life
react to the final solution by sabaton next. And id like to tell you about a the ship somewhat. after it sank the famous British ship the HMS hood an entire royal navy fleet was sent to hunt it down and sink it. The Bismarck knowing it was being looked for headed for occupied France but was discovered by the British royal air force. as it showed in the video one British plane hit it with a torpedo and destroyed one of its rutters causing it to go in circles and become a sitting duck. it was hit about 400 times but almost all of these just bounced off. it took about two days to sink it. the British had 13 ships, but the most they ever had shooting it was 5. many people believe that the ship was scuttled (purposely sank by her crew) and that if it hadn't been it could have stayed afloat for another half a day.
Only because the british didnt learned from the Battle in the Skagerrak and still Made no save ammo storages in their Ships so The Hood exploded after the third salvo of the Bismarck...
@@DimoB8 +no burst-pannels in the ammo storages that would float them automatically in Case of an Shell hitting it, Like Most German Ships Had (even in WW1)
YOu can fake tears of joy, you can fake the "OMG!" on a video, even you can fake these cryes of joy earing a song but YOU CANNOT FAKE THE GOOSEBUMPS. You know is a really great song when it gives you Goosebumps, this is how we know your reaction was 100% real and sincere.
alphaspursncowboys The Torpedo damaged the rudder so because they could only spin in circles the crew scuttled the Bismarck. The Bismarck was a tough ship (nothing could pin its armor... At least nothing at Sea at the time) but it got hit in what is literally a ship's Achilles and was basically rendered useless.
@@alphaspursncowboys it is true. None of the torpedo hits broke through the armor. She sank due to opened sea water valves in the hull. Examinations of the wreck corroborated the crew's claims.
A cool fact, the guns of Bismarck was so powerfull they actully was shaking the ship to pieces so they actully destroyed their own radarsystem with the first volley and was pretty much sailing blind after that..
What interesting is that the Bismarck was sunk by WW1 era bi planes which actually saved the pilots. Because the planes were built out of cloth and wood the explosive bullets did not detonate. One of the planes that returned had 800 bullets shot through it.
This reminds me I need to listen to more Sabaton, I've only heard maybe 5 of their songs, I love them they remind me of Powerwolf (well the singer mostly), don't know why I keep forgetting to look up more songs, I also love History so really I have no excuse not to look them up.
You're in for a treat then! I love listening to their songs and doing some research about the background behind the songs. If you're into it, look up "Sabaton History" They have a dedicated youtube channel where they go in-depth about the events and people they sing about with a Historian
@@Werewolf914 I recommend Panzerkampf, The price of a mile, Wolfepack, Primo Victoria, Panzer battalion, Those are honestly my favourites on the top of my head prob missed a few though.

The story of KMS Bismarck is one which, if it hadn't actually happened, most people would write off as fiction. During its maiden voyage, KMS Bismarck and KMS Prinz Eugen were tasked with obliterating any and all Allied shipping in the Atlantic. Is was pure chance that the pair were spotted departing Norway. They were lost, only to be discovered by the HMS Dorsetshire - a veritable rowboat compared to even the Prinz Eugen, but its advanced radar system allowed Dorsetshire to track Bismarck while remaining safely outside German radar. The German ships were ambushed by a small British armada, including the HMS Prince of Wales and the HMS Hood - the latter the pride of the British Empire and the flagship of the British Navy as a whole, despite being an older battlecruiser (rather than a fully-fledged battleship). During the engagement, KMS Bismarck completely obliterated HMS Hood with a single shot. (The precise details of how remain hotly debated among naval enthusiasts.) HMS Hood had a crew of over 1400 men - only three sailors survived the ship's destruction. HMS Prince of Wales was heavily damaged and forced to retreat. The remaining British ships (including Dorsetshire and Price of Wales) attempted to resume trailing Bismarck and Prinz Eugen, but the German Admiral Günther Lütjen was now wise to their tactic. Bismarck turned towards the British as if to engage, forcing them to scatter and both German ships slipped away in the resultant chaos. EVERY Allied ship under British command was ordered to scrub all current missions and were tasked with a single objective - "Sink the Bismarck!" Once again through sheer chance, the codebreakers at Bletchley Park intercepted a fairly insecure transmission by Lütjen which reported that Bismarck was headed for Brest, France. Only the HMS Ark Royal (a carrier with only dilapidated Fairey Swordfish biplanes) was able to close within strike range before KMS Bismarck reached the safety of Luftwaffe air cover stationed in France. In their rush to attack KMS Bismarck, the Swordfish pilots accidentally loosed their torpedoes against the USS Sheffield - once again through sheer chance, the new magnetic detonators of the torpedoes malfunctioned and the Sheffield suffered no damage. Admiral James Somerville risked a second attack wave, despite being perilously close to Luftwaffe air defenses. Once again through sheer chance, the Swordfish biplanes (each equipped with a single torpedo, now with older detonators) proved to be too slow for Bismarck's anti-aircraft stations to target properly. Yet again through sheer chance, a single torpedo struck Bismarck's port rudder during an evasive turn - the damage locked the rudder in position, crippling Bismarck's ability to maneuver and trapping it in a turn away from Luftwaffe air cover. This fortuitous damage gave the rest of the warships pursuing Bismarck the chance to close. Battleships HMS King George V and HMS Rodney (equipped with the biggest guns in the British fleet) unleashed everything they had at KMS Bismarck for nearly a full hour. HMS Rodney even had a few torpedoes to fire at KMS Bismarck, marking the only time in history when one battleship torpedoed another. Multiple sources reported that KMS Bismarck had taken so many hits (at least 400 of the 2800+ massive shells fired) that its hull glowed red and sent billows of steam every time it encountered a wave. The battle raged until most of the attacking British ships were forced to disengage for lack of fuel and ammunition, but still KMS Bismarck refused to go down despite all its weaponry being destroyed. What German crew still survived refused to allow KMS Bismarck to be captured and activated scuttling charges throughout the ship. Dorsetshire and Maori managed to rescue 110 German sailors before a suspected U-boat forced them to abandon their efforts for fear of sharing Bismarck's fate; another 5 were later recovered from life rafts by German ships. Despite the fact that they had been unable to sink Bismarck, British admiralty claimed the victory as avenging HMS Hood.
Video for this clip was made by Wargaming, a belarussian gamedev company, creator of World of Tanks and World of Warships. They specialize on accurate restoring the models of battleships, so, because of that, the navy battle in this clip looks so amazing
I saw sabaton in El Paso 6 years ago Delain opened for them and sabaton opened for nightwish I never heard of sabaton but when they came out to their intro the march to war then followed up with ghost division I fell in love with them and their music my lil sis has even used their music for her papers in school to add a lil extra pazaz to it 😁
My guy, you need to check out a band called alien weaponry. They're a thrash metal band from new Zealand and their songs are primarily written in Maori. It's honestly one of the best things I've heard in a long while and I feel like you'd definitely enjoy the energy 😁
I'm considering myself as a Shit. Because i didnt know this song 1 day ago. Hear the insane stronk Guitar riff and sound, poweful drumming, Blyatful shouting and voice of Joakim. Everything of GODbaton is insane. Dammmmmmmn
You have the best reaction so far. All others were kinda passive. When I heard the song live during the release I was screaming, shouting, threw my chair almost broke my desk. Good stuff. I think I liked it.
I don't believe this! I've been sending you possibilities for the last few weeks and suddenly they are all happening! Alex, your reactions are so honest and to the point. Talking about music from an actual Love of music, genre simply doesn't matter. You should try Two Steps From Hell just for yourself, near twenty years of beautiful music.

"Alex stop listening to music and do your history homework"
"I'm doing both"
Sabaton: the best history lesson you will ever headbang to. 😎
the best history lesson is one you can head bang too
You forgot to mention that Sabaton not only produce these amazing
“movies”, but also a second video to every song with a historian who explains the
historical facts behind it. THAT is not another level, that is another planet.
I’ve been saying Sabaton for as long as you have been reacting to metal. All of their songs are historic and are just as epic
Me too, dude. I've been dying over here for months.
Carlos Murrieta Except for the Metalizer and Fist to Fight albums... And anything with the prefix "Metal".
kabob 007 yeah that’s true but Metalizer has done good songs
Carlos Murrieta Birds of War is my favorite, because FOR CHAOS!
kabob 007 yes hahahah 🤘🏽
Sabaton would easily be able to make the best war movie in history
Wargaming + Sabaton= best war movie ever
But not if they call a Bismark a male again.... Ships are always female
Thonas Jäger No, The germans named many of their vehicles as males!
@@felixlillieskold8040 but not there ships

I share the sentiment, but unfortunately I've run out of mead, so my horn sits empty....
Please listen to 'En Livstid I Krig' By Sabaton.
(Yes, the swedish version with translation. The english version is awesome too, but the swedish lyrics feel much more meaningful in my opinion)
Maybe he should react to boyh versions in one video ;--)))
AGREED! The Swedish version is WAY more thought provoking
Totally agree! The english version is great, but the swedish... just amazing. Feels way more personal and goes way deeper. My favourite song of them so far.
I almost cried when i heard this song
M Rizal I totally cried when I looked up the translation the first time.
I feel like you can officially call yourself a metalhead now😂
Agreed
I usually don’t like songs of this sort, but my god Sabaton just makes it sound like my next morning’s coffee with some cocaine.
BlapBlop They make shit that has a KICK.
I dont know if you can call yourself that unless you predominantly listen to metal hence the hip hop head
When i listen to Sabaton in the gym my strength doubles.
Same when I hear Prussian and German marching songs
For me it’s Lordi
When you get immortalized into both a song and an anime character
Anime character? Let me guess... Azur Lane Bismarck and Kantai Collection Bismarck?
@@sazumiittoru9555 what about ARP Bismarck, unless i'm mistaken, she was shown briefly (her mental model at least)
Izumi Nishikino it’s kinda ironic since the Bismarck was technically, if I’m correct, the only male ship built in history.
I’m not sure whether there were any other male ships but you could say that Bismarck was one of the few male ships in history
@@willimeister2553 It's the matter of language, not the ships themselves. For example, in Russian most ships would be considered male.
Uzbagoitel 777 really? Hmm, you learn something new everyday
You should see them live, their energy is amazing and I have yet to see a band that projected it so well and pumped up the crowd.
they are in Wembley in February feb 8th hopefully working on it
Sabaton is the whole purpose im proud to be Swedish!
Skol! I am only 1/4 Swedish, but I do have that other 1/4 Dane, all of whom can kick ass on the 50% German! Ha!

I personally refer to Bismarck as female, but that is just my personal preference.
My sentiments exactly. That scene never fails to give me goosebumps
@@rickymcgowen6776
It's named after Otto Von Bismarck who was a man. So it's just weird calling it a "she" while also calling it Bismarck.

The small details about this are incredible. Like how the torpedos explode, or how it shows the turret falling out when the Bismarck flips over. But most importantly how the sailors are all so young. It's easy to think of men fighting in WW2, but more realistically, they were just boys- many just 18 years old....
The comments in the original video are hilarious. Like just casually fishing and then seeing sabaton filming this in the middle of the ocean.
This tune and Fields of Verdun are what I'm hooked on with the last few days
I like this better, might be the best song they have made
The Republic Of Ireland Red Baron and Bismarck for me.
@@kabob0077 some songs
Ghost Battallion is also pretty good. Give it a listen.
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 that was the first song I heard by the boys 😊
This made My Day that you reacted to it. I Love how much you seem to love Sabaton :)
Hope you will do more in the near future!
One of the things that helps with their more recent production is their partnership with Wargaming, the makers of the World of Tanks/Planes/Warship games.
It'd be awesome if they could get the Chieftain to drive a tank in a music video
Is Alex still a hip-hop head, or has he been converted to metal?
He's converted to Sabaton
Is it too much to ask for both?
YES!!
Everyone is a metal head, they just don't know it yet
I'm so glad you liked sabaton. They are my favorite metal band
I've seen them 2 times in Arizona and going to see them again this October
Sabaton for life
I wont lie, I cried a little bit because I was so happy and I am incredibly hyped for the new Album. Definitely another concert for me and my dad
react to the final solution by sabaton next. And id like to tell you about a the ship somewhat. after it sank the famous British ship the HMS hood an entire royal navy fleet was sent to hunt it down and sink it. The Bismarck knowing it was being looked for headed for occupied France but was discovered by the British royal air force. as it showed in the video one British plane hit it with a torpedo and destroyed one of its rutters causing it to go in circles and become a sitting duck. it was hit about 400 times but almost all of these just bounced off. it took about two days to sink it. the British had 13 ships, but the most they ever had shooting it was 5. many people believe that the ship was scuttled (purposely sank by her crew) and that if it hadn't been it could have stayed afloat for another half a day.
Also Extra Credits have a great video series on it.
Only because the british didnt learned from the Battle in the Skagerrak and still Made no save ammo storages in their Ships so The Hood exploded after the third salvo of the Bismarck...
@@espe1317 the Hood do didn't have any deck armor, showing it's broadside was suicide.
@@DimoB8 +no burst-pannels in the ammo storages that would float them automatically in Case of an Shell hitting it, Like Most German Ships Had (even in WW1)
@Rabbi Shekelberg what's wrong with the song?
I love that "bound by iron and blood" line. They managed to actually work a quote from otto von bismarck himself into the song.
YOu can fake tears of joy, you can fake the "OMG!" on a video, even you can fake these cryes of joy earing a song but YOU CANNOT FAKE THE GOOSEBUMPS.
You know is a really great song when it gives you Goosebumps, this is how we know your reaction was 100% real and sincere.
Sabaton needs to not forget the bismarck's sister Tripiz make a song about her pls
Bismarck:I'm invinsible!!
Biplane:your a looney.
I see that you are a person of culture too
Haha. Wood plane go zoommmmmmm!!
It took three hours of pounding from a fleet and air-force for the Bismarck to sink. Powerful ship.
Cyricist001 The Bismarck's own crew scuttled it, so in the end the Bismarck's crew were the ones who did the sinking.
kabob 007 Not true it was torpedoed
alphaspursncowboys The Torpedo damaged the rudder so because they could only spin in circles the crew scuttled the Bismarck. The Bismarck was a tough ship (nothing could pin its armor... At least nothing at Sea at the time) but it got hit in what is literally a ship's Achilles and was basically rendered useless.
@@alphaspursncowboys it is true. None of the torpedo hits broke through the armor. She sank due to opened sea water valves in the hull.
Examinations of the wreck corroborated the crew's claims.
The crew scuttled him because they didn't want the allies capturing him and using him against them.
A cool fact, the guns of Bismarck was so powerfull they actully was shaking the ship to pieces so they actully destroyed their own radarsystem with the first volley and was pretty much sailing blind after that..
A bit like the F-11 tiger which was faster than its own bullets, making the bullets hit its engine shooting it down
They sank HMS Hood with one round.
@@thorthegodofthunder9150 yep, a critical hit through hood's deck and detonated one of it's own shells
I bought a front row ticket to see Sabaton in 2021 in St. Louis, MO. It was $755 for the 1st row....... worth it.
the song bismarck is the reason why i found sabaton(its the first sabaton and my top fav of all songs)
Imagine playing Bismarck in World of Warships and listen to this song. It's the best.
I am 58 years young. No more hair on my head, but in my mind they are still there.
I love this kind of music!
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 The clip that the bismark's captain contact police when saw thousand of planes
Sabaton is not only a awesome band, they are history tellers. I have learned more about the two world wars from Sabaton than school.
What interesting is that the Bismarck was sunk by WW1 era bi planes which actually saved the pilots. Because the planes were built out of cloth and wood the explosive bullets did not detonate. One of the planes that returned had 800 bullets shot through it.
This reminds me I need to listen to more Sabaton, I've only heard maybe 5 of their songs, I love them they remind me of Powerwolf (well the singer mostly), don't know why I keep forgetting to look up more songs, I also love History so really I have no excuse not to look them up.
You're in for a treat then! I love listening to their songs and doing some research about the background behind the songs. If you're into it, look up "Sabaton History" They have a dedicated youtube channel where they go in-depth about the events and people they sing about with a Historian
I'll look it up, thank you
@@Werewolf914 I recommend Panzerkampf, The price of a mile, Wolfepack, Primo Victoria, Panzer battalion, Those are honestly my favourites on the top of my head prob missed a few though.

the visual effects, the bismark etc, the "movie" of the video, Was done If Memory serves, by World Of Warships, this was a collaberation.
The story of KMS Bismarck is one which, if it hadn't actually happened, most people would write off as fiction.
During its maiden voyage, KMS Bismarck and KMS Prinz Eugen were tasked with obliterating any and all Allied shipping in the Atlantic. Is was pure chance that the pair were spotted departing Norway. They were lost, only to be discovered by the HMS Dorsetshire - a veritable rowboat compared to even the Prinz Eugen, but its advanced radar system allowed Dorsetshire to track Bismarck while remaining safely outside German radar.
The German ships were ambushed by a small British armada, including the HMS Prince of Wales and the HMS Hood - the latter the pride of the British Empire and the flagship of the British Navy as a whole, despite being an older battlecruiser (rather than a fully-fledged battleship). During the engagement, KMS Bismarck completely obliterated HMS Hood with a single shot. (The precise details of how remain hotly debated among naval enthusiasts.) HMS Hood had a crew of over 1400 men - only three sailors survived the ship's destruction. HMS Prince of Wales was heavily damaged and forced to retreat.
The remaining British ships (including Dorsetshire and Price of Wales) attempted to resume trailing Bismarck and Prinz Eugen, but the German Admiral Günther Lütjen was now wise to their tactic. Bismarck turned towards the British as if to engage, forcing them to scatter and both German ships slipped away in the resultant chaos.
EVERY Allied ship under British command was ordered to scrub all current missions and were tasked with a single objective - "Sink the Bismarck!"
Once again through sheer chance, the codebreakers at Bletchley Park intercepted a fairly insecure transmission by Lütjen which reported that Bismarck was headed for Brest, France. Only the HMS Ark Royal (a carrier with only dilapidated Fairey Swordfish biplanes) was able to close within strike range before KMS Bismarck reached the safety of Luftwaffe air cover stationed in France. In their rush to attack KMS Bismarck, the Swordfish pilots accidentally loosed their torpedoes against the USS Sheffield - once again through sheer chance, the new magnetic detonators of the torpedoes malfunctioned and the Sheffield suffered no damage.
Admiral James Somerville risked a second attack wave, despite being perilously close to Luftwaffe air defenses. Once again through sheer chance, the Swordfish biplanes (each equipped with a single torpedo, now with older detonators) proved to be too slow for Bismarck's anti-aircraft stations to target properly. Yet again through sheer chance, a single torpedo struck Bismarck's port rudder during an evasive turn - the damage locked the rudder in position, crippling Bismarck's ability to maneuver and trapping it in a turn away from Luftwaffe air cover.
This fortuitous damage gave the rest of the warships pursuing Bismarck the chance to close. Battleships HMS King George V and HMS Rodney (equipped with the biggest guns in the British fleet) unleashed everything they had at KMS Bismarck for nearly a full hour. HMS Rodney even had a few torpedoes to fire at KMS Bismarck, marking the only time in history when one battleship torpedoed another. Multiple sources reported that KMS Bismarck had taken so many hits (at least 400 of the 2800+ massive shells fired) that its hull glowed red and sent billows of steam every time it encountered a wave. The battle raged until most of the attacking British ships were forced to disengage for lack of fuel and ammunition, but still KMS Bismarck refused to go down despite all its weaponry being destroyed.
What German crew still survived refused to allow KMS Bismarck to be captured and activated scuttling charges throughout the ship. Dorsetshire and Maori managed to rescue 110 German sailors before a suspected U-boat forced them to abandon their efforts for fear of sharing Bismarck's fate; another 5 were later recovered from life rafts by German ships. Despite the fact that they had been unable to sink Bismarck, British admiralty claimed the victory as avenging HMS Hood.
Video for this clip was made by Wargaming, a belarussian gamedev company, creator of World of Tanks and World of Warships. They specialize on accurate restoring the models of battleships, so, because of that, the navy battle in this clip looks so amazing
Bismarck, greatest leader of all time. Got a battleship named after him !!
David Orvik actually a Corvette, an Armored Cruiser and of course the legendary WW2 Battleship
Plus the song lol
When I listen to this band for the first time I didn’t even want to listen to other band it’s soooo good
The Bismarck was nothing but frightening and impressive. Even a titan goes down eventually when attacked enough.
His reaction when the guitar starts to sing in that solo is me every time. So beautiful.

I saw sabaton in El Paso 6 years ago Delain opened for them and sabaton opened for nightwish I never heard of sabaton but when they came out to their intro the march to war then followed up with ghost division I fell in love with them and their music my lil sis has even used their music for her papers in school to add a lil extra pazaz to it 😁
Moral of the story: Don't sink your enemy's most iconic ship or they'll send all of their available ships to attack you. ( R.I.P. HMS Hood)
