The hunt for DKM Bismarck

Post by Saxondog »

The greatest of German Technology at sea,but hunted by every ship in the Royal Navy. The Bismarck a demon on the prowl,sinks the pride of the BRITISH NAVY and escapes entrapment,but for how long. This is one of the great adventures of WWII and also a indication of air powers new influence on warfare at sea.
