The Bismarck, admired by many and feared by more, the pride of the German Navy, engages in its first major battle this week. Tomorrow, we will air a Biography episode (yes, a Bio about a ship) in which we analyse the intended function, design and ultimately use of the Bismarck.

Indy is doing a lot better and will most likely travel to Germany over the weekend to record new World War Two episodes, specials and a community video that we'll publish next week.

We sadly will not have an upload on the TimeGhost channel this week. We were hoping to make a video about the creation process of the Indonesian War of Independence series, but the lockdown messed with those plans. We will have a proper community video next week before we move on to the Cuban Missile Crisis the week thereafter. We hope you understand!

Also, Indy was very moved by the heartfelt comments under the Covid-19 video. Thank you all so much for being a part of this amazing community.

Cheers,
Joram

Honestly what this episode showed me was. The British were right to sink the French fleet at anchor. The Vichy government would most certainly have helped the nazis and given/lent/assisted the nazis with that fleet. Just a shame so many French died because the English government had to make a tough decision to stop a group of pathetic “leaders” assisting an evil empire.

How is Sabaton’s Bismarck not playing in the background?

I saw on an older documentary , they were talking to one of the gunnery officers that survived the sinking and was picked up by the British , he was on the bridge when they fought HMS Hood and Prince of Wales . he said that when the action began the Hood fired her 15 inch guns and the shot went long . it sounded like a freight train going over you head . and the shot was long another salvo was fired and the shot sent huge towers of water all around them , still with the crew standing by Admiral Lutjens didn't give the order to fire . After a couple of British salvos Captain Lindemann Turned to Lutjens and said " Admiral , I will not sit here and have my ship shot out from under me OPEN FIRE "

How would a May 1941 Atlantic Based U S navy delt with the Bismark ? what did they have on the Atlantic coast at that time that could have caught up with the Bismark and have the fire power to sink it , and were there any carriers station here at that time

I know it's a joke, but I have been really, really craving BK as comfort food since start of quarantine (Impossible Whoppers mmmmmm) and this video did not make that easier. It's literally on my street and the drive-thru is open
