Summary
The British Navy's sinking of a notorious symbol of Nazi Germany, the battleship Bismarck, in May 1941 ranks as one of the most significant victories of the Second World War. It was imperative that Britain find and destroy the Bismarck, a true threat to Britains ocean lifeline, before it could escape into the Atlantic. In The Bismarck Episode a veteran naval writer tells the intense and dramatic story of how the battleship was discovered, pursued, and ultimately destroyed.
