Synopsis
The sinking of the German battleship Bismarck--a masterpiece of engineering, well-armored with a main artillery of eight 15-inch guns--was one of the most dramatic events of World War II. She left the port of Gotenhafen for her first operation on the night of 18 May 1941, yet was almost immediately discovered by Norwegian resistance and Allied air re, A gripping tale of heroism --and doom--on the high seas . . . The sinking of the German battleship Bismarck--a masterpiece of engineering, well-armored with a main artillery of eight 15-inch guns--was one of the most dramatic events of World War II. She left the port of Gotenhafen for her first operation on the night of 18 May 1941, yet was almost immediately discovered by Norwegian resistance and Allied air reconnaissance. British battlecruiser Hood was quickly dispatched from Scapa Flow to intercept the Bismarck, together with new battleship Prince of Wales. They were ordered to find the ship quickly because, on their way from the USA, several large convoys were heading for Britain. On 24 May, Bismarck was found off the coast of Greenland, but the ensuing battle was disastrous for the British. The Hood was totally destroyed within minutes (only 3 crewmen surviving), and Prince of Wales was badly damaged. The chase resumed until the German behemoth was finally caught, this time by four British capital ships supported by torpedo-bombers from the carrier Ark Royal. The icy North Atlantic roiled from the crash of shellfire and bursting explosions until finally the Bismarck collapsed, sending nearly 2,000 German sailors to a watery grave. Tamelander and Zetterling's work rests on stories from survivors and the latest historical discoveries. The book starts with a thorough account of maritime developments from 1871 up to the era of the giant battleship, and ends with a vivid account, hour by hour, of the dramatic and fateful hunt for the mighty Bismarck, Nazi-Germany's last hope to pose a powerful surface threat to Allied convoys.

- g***f (330)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufMy cards arrived in great condition, just as described! I have bought from this seller many times, like a bad lawyer taking the bar exam! Cards I've recieved have been packed with great care and were just as described! They look great and nearly mint, in my opinion. You could get better cards, but the cops might get involved. All this and for a great price (especially if you're paying for it by picking up change in the parking lot like me).1980 Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Trading Card Series 3 U-Pick (Nr. 326528663305)
