The story of the celebrated HMS Hood, a mighty but older warship, and her sinking by the newer German Bismark, which shocked Britain.
In May1941 the German battleship Bismarck, at the time the most formidable fighting ship afloat, escaped into the Atlantic. Her presence there posed a fearful threat to the convoys that kept Britain alive.
The remarkable story of the scuttling of the German archive material, eye-witness accounts and the recollections of survivors as well as many contemporary photos which capture the awesome spectacle of the finest ships of the time being deliberately sunk by their own crew.
