Comments by "John Fisher" (@johnfisher9692) on "Operation Rheinübung - First and Last Voyage of the Bismarck" video.
Excellent video Drach Full of facts and destroys much of the nonsense written about the supposedly 'Invincible' Bismarck. I've read story's about how things below deck during the last fight were quiet, calm and the engine room fit for an Admiral's inspection. Clearly written by people who still believe the Sun revolves around the Earth. The German crew fought a brave action but were overwhelmed by superior forces and at the end it doesn't matter what dealt the death blow as Bismarck was a flaming wreck incapable of escape. I have also read pro-German propaganda of British cruelty in leaving Bismarck's crew to drown, but you show that U-Boats WERE in the area and I'm sure the RN remembers how U9 torpedoed three British cruisers during WW1, two of which had stopped to rescue the crew of the first one. So I don't blame the British caution when they sighted a sub.
