Sink The Bismarck

The legendary story of the sinking of the Bismarck on 27 May 1941. Built in secrecy she was a magnificent achievement of German technology whose focus was fear and mass destruction. She was the battleship Bismarck. Surprisingly her life span was that of a butterfly, just over a week. But that was enough for her to sink her dragon's teeth into the pride of the British fleet and blast her into eternity. This terror of the sea had to be destroyed.

This is the epic drama of the greatest sea chase the world has ever known seen through the eyes of the men who lived it. A life and death pursuit across two million square miles of storm tossed ocean. Bear witness as the entire British Empire marshals its resources with only one purpose of heart, to sink the Bismarck.
