[Long Post Ahead] Hi everyone! I’m Rob Rath, lead writer for Hunting the Bismarck. Because sponsored episodes don’t have a LIES episode, the EH crew decided the best thing would be for me to write them here in the comments. EPISODE I: THE PRIDE OF GERMANY • BRITISH PERSPECTIVE: After discussing possible approaches, we chose to tell the story from the British perspective as an hour-by-hour intelligence thriller. This approach had a few big advantages: it was tense, had a propulsive narrative, and allowed us to focus on the British intelligence effort that’s usually glossed over in other documentaries. It also let us communicate the “fog of war” and show how little the British often knew. The downside, though, is it gives short shrift to the Germans-but my hope is that the Bismarck’s side of this story is already well known to most naval history fans. • WASN’T YAMATO THE BIGGEST?: Yes, the Yamato’s displacement was larger-but it was still under construction when Bismarck sank. Yamato had already been “launched,” but that merely meant that its hull was floating in the water with its superstructure and armaments still under construction. Only after being “commissioned” into active service did it count as a real battleship. • CANADIAN SUPPLY CONVOYS: Several people pointed out that the Royal Canadian Navy and Merchant Marines played a large role in the Atlantic convoys. This is absolutely true, and I wish we had depicted that. As a form of apology, let me offer this: did you know that four Canadian midshipmen served at the Battle of the Denmark Strait? One served on the Prince of Wales, while three died on the HMS Hood. The Hood crew also included 20 men from Newfoundland, which was not (yet) a part of Canada. EPISODE II: THE MIGHTY HMS HOOD • WHY WAS PRINZ EUGEN OUT AHEAD?: It actually wasn’t a strategy. When Bismarck fired at the cruiser Norfolk in Episode I, the concussion of its own guns knocked out its radar array. Prinz Eugen was going first to act as a radar picket. • DID ALL THAT STUFF IN THE BATTLE REALLY HAPPEN?: Many people thought we took artistic license, but the events in this episode are based on the accounts of veterans and Hood survivors. One caveat: much like the circumstances of Hood’s sinking, there’s significant debate over whether Hood’s B-turret fired one last salvo. Both British and German sailors reported seeing the shot, but that doesn’t necessarily mean someone intentionally fired the guns. It’s possible that ammunition cooked off in the barrel, or that an internal explosion made it appear the guns fired. • DIDN’T MYTHBUSTERS PROVE SHIP SUCTION IS A MYTH?: Mythbusters used a 20-foot boat, which doesn’t reflect the fluid dynamics of a sinking battleship. A large ship going down very fast can experience “downflooding,” where water pours into the large spaces in the hull and ventilation shafts, pulling floating objects down like a drain. In addition, air escaping from the ship creates bubbles and foam at the surface, making the water less dense and able to support bodies. Oil and entangling debris also contribute to dragging sailors down-all three Hood survivors described being pulled down in some way. EPISODE III: A CHANCE TO STRIKE • WHY DID THE BRITISH KEEP ATTACKING ALLIES?: During most combat operations, ships tried to maintain radio silence so that listening stations on land didn’t triangulate their signal and inform enemy vessels of their position. This meant a ship’s location wasn’t always clear, and it was hard for pilots to recognize the size and silhouette of a ship when hurtling at it from several miles out. Mistakes were common. • TIME TRAVELING SHIPS AND ENIGMA ROTORS: We accidentally depicted some ships with post-war modernizations like angled flight decks. We also used the destroyer HMS Sheffield (D80)-which the Argentine Navy famously sunk during the Falklands War-instead of the cruiser HMS Sheffield (C24). Also, we misstated the number of rotors on the Enigma: the standard version had three and the naval version had four. EPISODE IV: SINKING THE BISMARCK • WASN’T THE BISMARCK SCUTTLED?: Yes. The crew set scuttling charges, partially because regulations mandated that they be set before an evacuation could take place. But Bismarck was already foundering and most assessments agree that she would’ve sunk within a day or half a day-so really the British sank her, the scuttling just sped it up. • WHY DID THE ROYAL NAVY KEEP SHOOTING?: According to naval procedure, Tovey couldn’t stop firing until Bismarck struck her colors, which she never did. The feelings about this were very mixed among the British sailors. The HMS Rodney’s chaplain really did beg his captain to stop the shelling. • WAS THERE REALLY A U-BOAT?: The lookout on the Dorsetshire spotted U-74, which had come to pick up Bismarck’s war diary at the request of Admiral Lütjens. U-74 later rescued three men clinging to a raft. WALPOLE In 1732, King George II gifted Walpole the residence at 10 Downing Street, where Winston Churchill lived and worked during WWII. Too easy? Ok! The Prinz Eugen was named after Prince Eugene of Savoy, an Italian-French general who served the Austrian Habsburgs. In 1731, Eugene was responsible for hammering out the Second Treaty of Vienna, which reoriented European politics by breaking Britain away from its ally France and instead aligning it with Austria. Who steered this on the British side? WALPOLE.

It's hard to say. Development of battleships basically stopped after WWI due to treaties, while other classes and aircraft carriers continued on. With rocket guided artillery projectiles, ship structures and subsystems designed against modern battlefields we probably could have effective battleships today. However, all the countries that have the money and engineering to develop such a ship today doesn't really have a target for them.

It's entertainment, certainly; but I have a hard time thinking of it as propaganda. After all, that segment talking about how the Royal Navy cruiser was forced to leave behind hundreds of men to drown is more likely to inspire pity and horror than patriotic fervor. And in any case, the war is long over. What point is there to propaganda when both combatants (Britain and Germany) are on the same side now?

That is not really true, from memory of my history research studies, (albeit some thirty odd years ago), the Rodney was designed to carry four or five sixteen inch gun turrets, (with one or two sixteen inch turrets at her stern), however, the ship was 'downsized' to accommodate the displacement treaties that the Bismark breached, hence it looked like it had been made a third too short, which was why she looked very awkward However, The Rodney could only ever be used a part of a concerted effort, as just about any German battleship or battle cruiser could chase her down from behind, where she only had, from memory, six or perhaps eight inch gun turrets, so she was not a stand alone threat like the Hood or The Prince of Wales, as she was awesome up front, but even the lightweight Eugen could have had the better of her from the stern, and the Scharnhorst would eaten her alive in a chase, let alone what the Bismark would have done to her. What you have to appreciate, is that the Germans were adept at understanding that battleship warfare had changed since WW1, in that the traditional broadside attacks ala the Battle of Jutland, (basically an arm wrestle), were outdated, and that mortar style fire was the future, and therefore the Germans built their ships with very thick deck armour, unlike the British, who had older ships not fit for anything other than broadside battles or sheer ship numbers dominance on the battle arena. The Bismark, and her sister ship, The Tirpitz, were so far advanced compared to the Royal Navy's fleet, that it would be like a comparing Mike Tyson to Sugar Ray Leonard in a straight fight, quite simply, the British had no heavyweights to go one on one with either of the two German battleships, hence the requirement for an all out assault on the Bismark once she was out of hiding.

The fact that one of the father's of the Bismarck's sailors was concerned for the life of his son is a pretty big pointer for that. However... Did they really expect anything else go happen? They sank the Hood, one of the most prized British vessels, and were planning to attack supply ships. When that U-Boat appeared near the sunken Bismarck, it should've been obvious instantly that the British would choose to flee and live rather than help the very men who'd been trying to kill them and had already killed their comrades. They knew the risks and should've known that mercy from the Brits would be incredibly small, if at all.

Uncle Dan One of the more interesting aspects on the German side of the battle happened before the first shells were even fired. Admiral Lütjens had an opportunity to top off his fuel reserves for both the Prinz Eugen and the Bismarck while they were hiding in the Norwegian fjords. While he had the Prinz Eugen refueled, he decided not to top off the Bismarck... and this would cost him. When the Prince of Wales scored those crucial strikes on the Bismarck, it dropped the Bismark's fuel reserves to critical levels. The only place for Lütjens to go was Brest, France as it was closer than Norway to allow for emergency repairs. Even more interesting is the difference that arose between Lütjens and the Bismark's captain, Lindermann. Lütjens, under orders from Admiral Raeder, wanted to avoid a direct confrontation, but Lindermann wanted to fight the British head-on.

Bismarck sank not from torpedoes from a British cruiser, but from the explosion of the Kingstones by the Bismarck crew themselves, on Lindemann's orders so that the British would not kill the sailors with direct fire. Bismarck began to roll aboard even before torpedoing. James Cameron, on an expedition to Bismarck, did not find torpedo holes in the battleship's hull, but only open kingstones.

Didn't the captain of the Bismarck scuttle it with charges to prevent the British from capturing it? Also, as a more morbid note, the spotting of a U-boat was a false alarm, and when a German U-boat finally did reach the scene, it was only able to pick up another 3 sailors(which, along with 2 more from a German trawler, are counted into the 114 survivors)

ocadioan What source is the U-boat spotting a false alarm? Because U-74 actually reported trying to sink British fleet units in the area after Bismarck sunk, the bad swell meant keeping its periscope depth was impossible. Likely uncovering its hull briefly in the mean time and getting spotted. uboat.net/history/u74-bismarck.htm At 10.36 am the sonar crew heard sinking sounds but they weren't certain whether it was Bismarck or a British ship. Detonations were also audible. Later U-74 went to periscope depth and Kentrat saw battleships and cruisers directly in front of him. He tried to get into an attack position but the weather was too bad, the seas too high to remain on periscope depth or to shoot a torpedo.
@ocadioan

Crag_r My mistake. I read that the U-boat(U-74 apparently) arrived later, which I then inferred as meaning that it had not been there before, meaning that either another U-boat would have had to be there and then left the sailors, or it was a false alarm.

Even if it's a false alarm, you don't take chances. WW2's biggest mistakes were mainly caused by mistrusting/mishandling of intel. The Soviets lost many ground early in Barbarossa because Stalin didn't trust his spies in Switzerland. Pearl Harbor happened because of somebody mismanaged the intel about the Japanese fleet. French military command ignored intel about the Germans in the Ardennes and it cost them the war.

Within a little you can tell what a Royal Navy ship is from it's name, at least for WWII era ships (not entirely sure how well this translates to other eras). Cities were 6" armed light cruisers (cf HMS Belfast, kept as a museum ship in London and a facinating visit if you have the chance), Counties (Norfolk, Suffolk, etc) were 8" armed heavy cruisers, famous admirals and royalty were battle ships and battle cruisers (Hood, Prince of Wales, Rodney, Nelson), military virtues are aircraft carriers (Victorious, Illustrious, Invincible, Ark Royal doesn't fit the pattern but hey it's not a rule). Destroyers followed various naming schemes but a given class would tend to start with the same letter, HMS Glowworm would make an excellent subject for a series.

when they said "everyone cheered once it was announced that the bismark sunk" I didn't. I sat and thought of the men died, on the HUD and the Bismark itself. I thought of the men who swam, watching their last hope for survival drive away. I thought of the people who would never again see their friends, siblings, sons and fathers. And I wept.

2:20 they mention the Piorun which i will take because the story of the Piorun is one of the craziest and one of the best stories of sinking the Bismarck

WWII is overdone in my opinion. Need some good history from when the battleship was the king of the seas rather than the aircraft carrier.

The battleship was becoming obsolete by mid 1942-43

Nah, it was already obsolete by then. I'd say it was becoming obsolete 1940-1941, and probably a few years before that.

It’s like the polish destroyer was trying to tell the Germans what they did and remind them with that message”I am a pole”.

At the bottom of the ocean, the depths of the abyss, they are bound by iron and blood. The flagship of the navy, the terror of the seas. His guns have gone silent at last.

Really undersold the piorun engagement and how ridiculous and brave it was despite it admittedly not having a direct strategic effect.

Why just Piorun? Why not the rest of the destroyer flotilla that kept Bismarck at action stations all night (HMS Cossack, Maori, Sikh & Zulu), whereas Piorun withdrew and lost contact after her hour long gun duel.

Many historians say that it’s likely Bismarck scuttled. Apparently divers have said that there was nearly no penetration below the waterline and the rapidity of its sinking is more akin to a scuttle then prolonged damage
