Synopsis
A brand-new narrative account of one of World War II's most exciting chase stories, the pursuit of the legendary German battleship, Bismarck ., A ground-breaking narrative account of one of World War II's most exciting chase stories, the pursuit of the legendary German battleship Bismarck . Hunt the Bismarck tells the story of Operation Rheinübung , the Atlantic sortie of Nazi Germany's largest battleship, Bismarck, in May 1941 and her subsequent pursuit by the Royal Navy. Bismarck entered naval service in the summer of 1940. She was well-armed, with eight 15in guns as well as a powerful array of lighter weapons, while her armoured protection earned her the reputation of being unsinkable. This claim was put to the test in May 1941 when she sortied into the Atlantic and fought the legendary battle of the Denmark Strait, destroying HMS Hood , the pride of the Royal Navy. Bismarck was now loose in the North Atlantic. However, damage sustained in the battle limited her ability to roam at will, and the Royal Navy deployed the Home Fleet to avenge the sinking of the Hood . The stage was set for the greatest chase story in the history of naval warfare. Drawing on a wealth of first-hand accounts and intertwining extensive research into a fast-paced narrative, this is the most readable and accurate account of Bismarck 's epic pursuit ever produced., A brand-new narrative account of one of World War II's most exciting chase stories, the pursuit of the legendary German battleship, Bismarck . Hunt the Bismarck tells the story of Operation Rhein bung , the Atlantic sortie of the Nazi Germany's largest battleship in May 1941. Bismarck entered service in the summer of 1940. She was well-armed, with eight 15-inch guns as well as a powerful array of lighter weapons, while her armored protection earned her the reputation of being unsinkable. This claim was finally put to the test in May 1941, when she sortied into the Atlantic and fought the legendary battle of the Denmark Strait, destroying HMS Hood , the pride of the Royal Navy. Bismarck was now loose in the North Atlantic. However, damage sustained in the battle limited her ability to roam at will, while the Royal Navy deployed the Home Fleet to revenge the Hood . The stage was set for the greatest chase story in the history of naval warfare. Drawing on a wealth of first-hand accounts, and intertwining extensive research into a fast-paced narrative, this is the most readable and accurate account of Bismarck 's epic voyage ever produced., At 06.00 on the morning of Saturday 24 May 1941, a salvo of 15in. shells from the guns of the German battleship Bismarck pierced the side of HMS Hood. One of the shells exploded deep inside the British battlecruiser, igniting some of the charges in her after magazines. The subsequent blast ripped the ship in two. In a matter of minutes, the Hood became a great steel coffin for 1,415 of her crew. There were only three survivors. With the damaged Bismarck now loose in the Atlantic and the Royal Navy determined to avenge the Hood, the stage was set for the most remarkable naval chase in history. Hunt the Bismarck tells the story of this dramatic campaign, which played out against the cold, grey backdrop of the North Atlantic as the might of the Royal Navy set out in pursuit of Germany's greatest battleship.
