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 Britain's
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.
