As always, an awesome and informative video Drach Very interesting to hear that the Bismarck shell found in PoW would have never hit the ship if the fuse had functioned as designed. I had never heard that before. I really learn things watching your video's. I would like to see a video on HMS Lion, the WW1 BC. People rave so much about how much damage the German BC's survived at Jutland yet they ignore Lion also took many hits but was still at sea, still combat capable and looking to continue the fight the next day while the German ships were hor's de combat and ran for home asap. Although hit by less shells, these German shells worked as designed as opposed to the malfunctioning British one. Lion also carried less armour. So balancing that against the heavier German armour and ineffective British shells I'd say she took equivalent damage to SMS Seydlitz, yet was in far better fighting trim at the end of the battle. Heavier inefficient British shells Vs Heavier German armour as opposed to lighter efficient German shells vs lighter British armour. What are your thoughts on my reasoning??
