The carving is done by the captain of the Bismarck and what he does is he apparently carves the coordinates of Bismarck's location in the lid of a compass. If you watch the video with some eye for detail, you will see that the compass is used by the captain of the fishing boat to find the location where the Bismarck sank. He is supposedly a son or grandson of the sailor who was rescued from the Bismarck. Most reactors miss the story with the compass completely, even though it is shown quite prominent in the video. If you watch the video again I'm sure you will see it.

Dorsetshire and Maori picked up 85 and 25 survivors respectively. At 11:40 a lookout on the Dorsetshire thought he spotted a periscope (U-74 was in the area) and the rescue effort was abandoned whilst hundreds of Bismarck's survivors were still in the water. While the British cruiser Dorsetshire was busy rescuing survivors from the water, Midshipman "Joe Brooks" jumped over the side to help wounded Germans scramble up his ship's side. One German sailor had lost both arms and was hanging onto a rope with his teeth; Brooks tried to save him but failed. Brooks was nearly left behind when the U-boat alarm was given and the Dorsetshire began to pull away while he was still in the water, but he was thrown a line by his shipmates and was pulled aboard. After the battle, the British warships returned to the United Kingdom with 109 Bismarck survivors, as one survivor (Gerhard Lüttich) had died of his wounds the day after his rescue and was buried at sea on 28 May 1941 with full military honours by the crew of HMS Dorsetshire. That evening at 19:30, U-74, picked up three survivors from a dinghy (Herzog, Höntzsch, and Manthey) and the following day at 22:45 the German weather ship Sachsenwald picked up two survivors from a raft (Lorenzen and Maus). The neutral Spanish heavy cruiser Canarias also arrived at the sinking scene but did not find survivors. Out of a crew of over 2,200 men, only 114 survived.

A friendly reminder. See that huge battleship right there? The Bismarck? Well, that hulking mass of steel, that pride of Kriegsmarine shortly before its demise have fought *ONE ON ONE* against one humble polish destroyer. ORP Piorun. *AND HAVE FAILED TO SINK IT!* For over an hour the biggest battleship of its time have fought against one tiny polish destroyer. For over an hour that tiny destroyer have been firing *LITERALLY ALL OF ITS GUNS* while broadcasting by light and by radio: *"A AM A POLE!"* And Bismarck let that destroyer escape. That's why Bismarck was sunk in the end. Because that tiny polish destroyer have been harassing Bismarck's crew throughout the night preventing them from getting any sleep. And then The Brits have arrived.

25th May 1940 - The Fourth Destroyer Flotilla consisting of the destroyers HMS Cossack, Sikh, Maori and Zulu, and the Polish destroyer ORP Piorun, under command of Captain Philip Vian, was ordered to detach from convoy WS-8B and to screen King George V pursuing Bismarck because the original screen was low on fuel. One hour after the Swordfish attack, Maori and Piorun made contact with Bismarck at 22:38. Piorun attacked at once, signalling her identity as a Polish ship, but was not able to launch torpedoes. She approached close enough to engage Bismarck with her guns, but then lost contact and played no more role in the battle. Deteriorating weather made a concentrated attack impossible. Throughout that night, Bismarck was the target of intermittent torpedo attacks by Vian's destroyers. In ten approaches between 22:38 and 06:56 Cossack, Maori, Zulu and Sikh fired sixteen torpedoes but none hit. One of Bismarck's shells sheared off Cossack's antenna and three other shells straddled Zulu, wounding three men. Between 02:30 and 03:00 the destroyers fired starshell at Tovey's request in order to make her position visible for the battleships. The constant harrying tactics of the destroyers helped wear down the morale of the Germans and deepened the fatigue of an already exhausted crew.

Another water music video is their Race to the Sea. Other music videos to watch (if you haven't already) are The Unkillable Soldier, Christmas Truce, To Hell and Back, and 7 Pillars of Wisdom (1916 was already mentioned.) I'm not sure if you'd be into it, but they also do animated story video collaborations with YarnHub. Those include First Soldier, Night Witches, Lady of the Dark, and No Bullets Fly.

Sabaton is awesome. I found them a few years back and got hooked. Many reactors say "if this was how they taught history in my school, I would have paid attention" If I might suggest? Try "Christmas Truce" - almost like a movie too. My favorite, for personal reasons, is "No bullets Fly" (the 8:54 second one) animated story version.

The coordinates are the location of the ship, where it sank. The medallion was given to the young sailor, who survived the sinking and later went on to have a child, a person who is still alive today. This person is the elderly sailor the sabaton crew talks to in the beginning. You can see the guy holding the medallion when the music starts.

13:08 That's the captain of the Bismarck, Ernst Lindemann engraving the coordinates of the Bismarck in a pocket compass that you see several times in the video. He then give it to the young sailor that was the last survivor of the Bismarck. It's actually his son portraying him as the old fisherman as the man himself died one year before the making of the video.

Sabaton like, when possible, to mix their videos with real people from the event they are filming. So the man in the beginning is the actual son of the young sailor that was saved. And the watch with the engravings is the actual watch that the dying older sailor gave to the young sailor before he jumped to the water to be saved. And, if I did not understand it incorrect, the engravings was the coordinates to where Bismarck did sink. The old man, for some reason, did that before dying.

All your questions are usually answers on the Sabaton History KZread channel linked at the end of the video, it is the projector superimposed on a maxim machine gun

Great review of one of my favourite Sabaton videos, and songs. Thank you for so much you've added to my appreciation of the video itself and what went into it's making; certainly they don't hold back or cut corners in their productions. My own dad was a sailor in the War of the Atlantic, serving in both the merchant navy and the Royal Navy. He had a few prominent scars on his legs to show for it as well lol. That whole story of the sinking of the Bismark is worth looking up, and maybe you'll get to see the Sabaton History channel's video of it. That "beast made of steel" was indeed a very scary monster, as it had the ability to annihilate whole convoys of Allied cargo vessels and had to be stopped at all costs. The cost was indeed high though, as the Bismark managed to sink the "mighty battle cruiser Hood", going down with all but three of her ~1, 500 compliment of two thousand men.

The boat with the name "Primo Victoria" shares it's name with another Sabaton song. The guys froze on the boat. Joakim was probably bashing his leg to make sure it was still there! BTW - Large "bullets" fired from a warship are called shells!

The captain wrote the coordinates inside the shell of their watch. The same watch the captain of the fishing boat watched.

That CGI.. You can tell there is a game developer coproducing this. World of Warships did a nice colab.

13:20 as others have mentioned and you yourself, it's coordinates. Basically signifying where to look for the grave of the Bismarck so any sailors on board can have closure for their families when found again. Dark as hell but that's war

Sabaton is really god at praising the individual soldier while at the same time asign blame to the rulers.

My goosebob moment is when they reach the coordinates and (the ghost of) Bismark apears out of the fog.

The battle of the Atlantic was the whole naval campaign waged by Germany against UK and US shipping in World War II. Depicted here are two actual battles of that campaign, part of the Battle of Denmark Strait where Bismarck and Prinz Eugen were engaged by HMS Hood and HMS Prince of Wales that ended with a devastating loss of HMS Hood. The second battle is the last battle of the Bismarck. Crippled by the torpedo hit, the British Fleet closed in and shot Bismarck to a burning husk of a ship. It happend roughly at the coordinates engraved in the compass. Amazingly, while the superstructure, gun turrets and most of the Bridge and conning tower were hit quite badly, Bismarck did not sink. The main armor belt held and the crew then prepared scuttling charges to not let the ship be taken and pulled back to shore as a war trophy while the British cruiser HMS Dorsetshire launched a volley of torpedoes to sink the still floating hull of Bismarck. In the end, a little more than 100 of her crew of 2200 people could be rescued from the sea.

I think Rodney may have fired torpedoes at Bismark. It is uncertain if this actually happened and if they hit. Several torpedoes were fired from the cruisers and did hit. Unfortunately the British admiral refused to let a flight of Swordfish launch their torpedoes at Bismark. In the night leading up to this engagement 4 British Tribal class destroyers and one of the Free Polish Destroyers overshot their rendezvous point with the British fleet and instead rendezvoused with Bismark and proceeded to launch what few torpedoes at Bismark throughout the night. The Poles helped by charging at Bismark flashing their blinker light with the message "I am a Pole" as well as launching star shells and distracting lookouts and probably taking a few shots with their guns. No confirmed hits from the torpedo runs were recorded.

It's a major thing that is overlooked as the actions of the Piorun may have accounted for crew fatigue in the crew of the Bismarck in the next days engagement.

Yay , was waiting for this one 😀 they have a lot of cool animated music videos aswell , such as ”no bullets fly” or ”Night Witches” but if you’re looking for another cool live action music video i’d suggest ”uprising” and ”christmas truce”

Hi Manon, great reaction. Even if I have seen this video dozens of times, I noticed a new detail, because I watched it (with you) from the standpoint of filmmaking and storytelling. Maybe you noticed that Sabaton begin to play in daylight, the part of the guitar solo happens at nightime, and at the end of the song a new day has begun, even if the actual song is only 5 minutes long. But that corresponds with the last fight and sinking of the Bismarck. After a two-day hunt the Bismarck got that torpedo hit that set the steering gear inoperable. After a fight through the night and the following morning, heavily damaged and on fire, the ship was scuttled by their own crew. And, another aspect, as you mentioned the Titanic: It was Robert Ballard, a professor of oceanography and known for underwater maritime archaeology and archaeology of shipwrecks, who found both, the wreck of RMS Titanic in 1985 and the wreck of the Bismarck in 1989 for the first time. This expedition was supposedly (according to Wikipedia, but not credited on IMDb) accompanied by James Cameron to make a documentary video for National Geographic (Search for the Battleship Bismarck, 1989). Years later, in 2002 James Cameron released his full length documentary "Expedition: Bismarck" for Discovery Channel. Thanks again for a great reaction, and the approach of your channel; makes me appreciate these "small little mini movies with music" even more. Greetings from Germany, Prog O'Holic At last a recommendation: Please check out the music video for the song "L'Envol" by french post black metallers 'Alcest'. Never seen a more beautiful video. Just sayin' (kzread.info/dash/bejne/mpWFwdygnpzJm5c.html)

Fields of Verdun, great video.

Hello Manon. At the beginning of the video, you see the boat's captain with a silver pocket watch. Later, you see an officer of the Bismark (possibly the captain) carving the Bismark's location into the watch's inner cover surface with a knife. A young sailor takes the watch from the dying officer and leaps overboard and is saved. That young sailor was the father of the boat's captain seen at the beginning of the video. The temporarily renamed ship goes to the site of the sinking to play over the resting place of the Bismark. As for the cinematics... Sabaton got in contact with World of Warships (or, WoW got a hold of them upon hearing of the song's subject), who made various videos available to them to cut and paste into their video footage. Thus, the impressiveness of the videos of ships firing their guns and the Bismark, and its demise. The scene of the Bismark rolling as she sank is 'real'. It was argued for decades that she just sank, but when an expedition found the ship's hull, the turret baskets were empty. The turrets were miles away from the eventual resting place of the ship's hull. The ship HAD 'turned turtle' and shed its turrets at the site of the sinking. The hull, freed of the weight, righted itself as it sank and met the bottom at a place where the ship slid for quite a distance before coming to rest at the bottom of the underwater slope. The Bismark is remarkably intact to this day for a 'sunken ship'. So, the scene showing the turrets sinking, separate from the ship's hull, is actually accurate. Good Eye! You noticed the need for multiple ships to make the video, and all the effort and money spent to ensure safety while making this video. War knows no favorites. War, is indeed hell on earth. One can only pray humanity grows out of this, eventually.

Thank you for the great analysis of the cinematography. I learnt things today! I add my voice to those suggesting Sabaton's Christmas Truce video. It was made by a movie production team who were out of work due to the pandemic.

You have to also watch To Hell and Back by Sabaton

I really liked your reaction very much. All your explanations about the film making were very interesting and enyoyable, I didn't fast forward any second. Can't wait to see you react to the next Sabaton video (as others mentioned their 1916 cover or Christmas Truce). And as Rammsteins "Deutschland" popped up in the video links at the end of the Sabaton movie: I think this is another one with a great production/film making value as they're trying to capture Germanys bicentennial history in roughly ten minutes...

Maybe not as cinematic, but "1916" and "Christmas Truce" tell a fantastic story! Please check them out!

I'm still waiting for the first reactor to spot that after the first sentence in the first verse; "From the mist, a shape, a ship, is taking form", in the short shot from behind the captain, the Bismarck is actually coming out of the fog for a few frames in the right window, before they cut back to the band and Joakim sings the next sentence; "And the silence of the sea..." Brilliant editing and Easter egg! Most reactors realize Bismarck first in the next scene from outside, when the Bismarck appears in front of the fisher boat and you see the sheer size of him in comparison. The level of details in this music video is second to none, even though it's probably some 80% GCI/green screen. There is a small "making of" video for this as well, check it out! Greetings from Sweden! Next video for you should be "Christmas Truce", make sure you watch all the credits as well! 🤘🏻

I have seen your deconstructions of Soldier of Heaven and this one so far, and here is some feedback: - To me, it looks like your production value increased, with a much cleaner/quieter background now than in soldier of heaven (also, you look tidier, more professional here, maybe it's the hair :D) - I like your breakdowns and explanations of the things that are required to shoot a scene and the techniques used - Your audio quality, especially of the music video, seems a bit bad/low quality at times, you yourself are sometimes a bit quiet all of the sudden, is there a way you could improve that? - I like that you bring yourself into focus when breaking down a certain part or scene (as opposed to remaining a little webcam-screen in the corner of the screen) - Maybe you can get a bit more into the music, I mean you already connect music and visuals, but maybe more if possible and if you can imagine yourself doing that To me, you're kinda like TankTheTech but for all the visual things :D I would love for you to take a look at Sabaton's cover of Defense of Moscow, Christmas Truce, and the Animated Story Video of no Bullets Fly, maybe even Race To The Sea, keep up the great work!

Hey there! Thank you for your feedback, very encouraging! :) I've been traveling a lot since I started my channel and just moved to an apartment and have been working hard on a new "proper" KZread setup, haha. So stay tuned!

About the feasibility of a boat as a stage, the city of Victoria does this by towing a barge in front of the legislature buildings for the symphony splash, and a fair number of people come out in canoes and kayaks for 'front row seats'

Really interesting once again, thanks! They've done a short "making of" video, which I think you'll find equal parts enlightening and frustrating because it does "blink and you miss it" comparisons of what's on set and what you see. I'll put the link in a reply because I've experienced my posts being randomly deleted when thay have a link included.

I can't wait to watch the making of! I always avoid it before making these reactions though!

They were freezing their asses of filming this video. It was made in corporation with Wargaming for the game World of Warships. There is a video about the making of this video. I suggest their Motörhead tribute 1916 next. There is also a behind the scenes episode about the making of that video as well.

Great reaction to an incredible good video and song. And you can't go wrong with Christmas Truce as the next video. It has the same quality as this but is so much more heartbreaking. Speaking of heartbreak, their song "No bullets fly" is a guarantee for tears. (But you have to watch the animated story video) And if you are interested in more instruments and water you should watch their official music video for "Race to the sea" Greetings from Germany ❤

Sabaton has a great "making Of" video on their channel for this video. well worth a watch.

Rumor has it that the dangling legs on the stair shot belong to Floor Jansen.

He’s scribing the coordinates for the ship onto a pocket watch. Which he then hands to the sailer who then passed onto his son that was the captain of the trawler. Bismarck was one of the largest battleships to have been built at that time. It sank the British flag ship HMS hood killing all but 3 of her crew as the ship exploded and sank immediately. Churchill upon hearing the news ordered every ship with a gun to hunt down Bismarck and sink him. Bismarck was a him not a her. Bismarck had taken damage with the battle with hood and Prince of wales and was heading back to France for repair. Code breakers intercepted a message from Bismarck to a German official as to where the ship was heading. Swordfish torpedo planes got a lucky shot on Bismarck disabling her rudder. That gave the time for the British fleet to catch and dink her. Though the night before the Bismarck was being constantly hounded by a polish destroyer even though the poles had been instructed not to engage.

Its not a pocket watch its a Compass .

I’d love to see your reaction to the Christmas Truce music video

Please react to Sabaton: Wolfpack music video and No bullets fly Animation Story.

Just so you know, the guy dodging the hand grenade is Floor Jeans' man. Then if you want to know more about the hits that Sabaton sings and then, among other things, this song, Sabaton has a Sabaton History page here on KZread, where a historian tells the story behind the songs. Then again, not everyone suffers from post-traumatic stress.

History with a beat 😊

One great music video of a other band - 11 Minutes the Song is "Finsterwacht" from Saltatio Mortis feat. Blind Guardian Epic Music video for the new Album

Nice reaction, I hope you'll go down this rabbithole much further, and discover the whole awesomeness of my favourite metal guys from Sweden, I've been a fan of, for 20 years... for epic Videos, ypu for sure should check out "Christmas Truce" and "The unkillable Soldier".. greetings from Germany!

the watch has the aproxmit location of the wreck is in the "vicinity" of 4809N 01607W. The main hull is located approximately half way down the volcano at a depth of roughly 15,715 ft / 4,790m.

Excellent reaction. I thoroughly enjoy your analysis since I am learning so much. Thank you for doing these reactions. BTW, this was directed by Matthias Hoene, an award-winning German filmmaker. Interesting factoid: The British PBY that spotted the Bismarck as he fled to France was piloted by US Navy Ensign Leonard B. “Tuck” Smith, on secret assignment to train British pilots on flying the PBY.

Ooohhh - didn't know about the director, thank you for pointing that out! That makes total sense. It all felt put together by people who've been at it for a while.

First off, I love the Jinjer shirt, I have one myself, what an amazing band! I really appreciate your take on the cinematography of "Bismarck" by Sabaton. I would also suggest "1916" and "Christmas Truce " by Sabaton to get a feel of what they are up to, you might enjoy those as well. As a side note, a friend of mine in college was the grandson of the pilot who spotted the Bismarck. He did this while flying the PBY Catalina flying boat that was shown for about 2 seconds in the film. He was actually a U.S Navy pilot teaching the RAF Costal Command pilots how to fly the plane when the hunt for the Bismarck happened. As the USA was not officially in the war yet, this was kept quiet for quite some time.

The video is also remarkably accurate in the visuals and the documented history. All the ship/aircraft models are top notch replicas of the real ships and the sequence of events is very true to the historical battle. Even tiny details like the British sailors hats only saying HMS instead of HMS ShipsName because as a wartime security measure they removed the ships names that were displayed on the hatbands during peacetime.

The attention to details in this video is absolutely amazing. :)

2000 sailors perished with the Bismarck. The World of Warships helped with the graphics.

Hi, the Caribbean thing - it happens due to higher temperature near the equator. In the northern seas there is no such problem with humidity.

Like the Titanic, the Bismarck sank on its maiden voyage. The ship is famous for sinking the flagship of the British fleet (and the largest battleship until the Bismarck) after 15 minutes of fighting. Afterwards the ship was hunted by the entire British fleet. Churchill is said to have ordered: 'Kill that beast!' The Bismarck was finally captured, came under fire from three warships for two hours and then sank. James Cameron led an expedition to find the ship. When he found it he is said to have said: 'The beast is still alive, just waiting for a new crew.' The captain abandoned and sank the ship because of the fires on deck. The Bismarck did not sink due to enemy fire.

First of all not the largest battleship that goes to Yamato & Musashi the two japanese battleships,Bismarck was not captured at all,it had it's rudder jammed by a torpedo from a Swordfish biplane from Ark Royal so it went in circles so for the allies mainly the British should not take it, it might have been scuttled to prevent it from falling into enemy hands & save lives,it's a theory still. Bismarck sunk Hood in less then 10mins where a shell hit her aft ammunition magazines (also Hood was a Battlecruiser not a Battleship like Bismarck was). Had Bismarck gotten Tirpitz with it as the plan was then things might have looked a lot different.

@@TemplarbladeDK I wrote the biggest battleship up to that point. Yamamato and Musashi were built afterwards. And both were a bigger target, because neither survived the war. One of the reasons why battleships are no longer built today. I didn't write anything about capers. Cameron did not find any leaks in the hull during his diving trips. How did the British sink the ship? In detail: the hood still had a wooden deck. It was supposed to be replaced with a steel deck, but installation kept getting delayed. The Bismarck fired its shells in a high arc and the ship's side offered no protection. There was a delay in construction of the sister ship Tirpitz, which is why it was only completed afterwards. After all, this ship survived its maiden voyage and successfully destroyed a weather station in the process. A convoy is said to have taken a detour because of the ship. Soon afterwards the ship was attacked and sunk in the harbor, with great effort. The British wanted to use all means possible to prevent another trip. After that, no German battleships were built and the armaments industry concentrated on the land war against the Soviet Union.

@@Mischnikvideosactually you did specifically say ''The Bismarck was finally captured, came under fire from three warships for two hours and then sank''. He's right that it was never captured. I think you might have meant something like 'caught' or 'cornered'? He's also right that the Hood was a Battlecruiser, that is even said in the radio bit at the start of the video. It was also at the least damaged by the British torpedo plane, because the entire reason it was going in circles and caught up to was because of that. It's debated whether it was sunk by the British or scuttled by the Crew, but I don't think it's been proved either way...

It's the watch of the captain with the carved coorinates. Stop vid at about 18:50 / 51 here. Happy Easter to all !

The video was made in cooperation with game "World of Warships".

I believe there is a video about the making of this. Including how they did some of the footage work.

Soo glad I discovered this channel. Please, react to Sabaton 1916. And also they release a mini doc about the production of it. And, of course, Christmas Truce as well.

This was THE song that got me hooked on Sabaton, so I am always happy when people talk about it. And I especially love when filmmakers watch it, because they went ALL OUT for this video. If you didn't know, Sabaton made this in collaboration with Wargaming, specifically their game World Of Warships. They had HD, almost 1 to 1 recreations of ships from blueprints, including the Bismarck, and Wargamings cinematic staff to help.

Hey, loved the video. Definitely a nice change from music professionals reacting to music (videos). Also, I think you'd have a great time watching "Rammstein - Deutschland" ...might need to make that a two-part reaction, tho. :D

Christmas truce is made by a Hollywood film crew so well it shows. And the song is so good. Joakim has stated that they where getting soaked by water from the swells and the film crew was sipping hot coffee and had a great time :)

Love your detailed perspective on the making of this cinematic video. I expect you know them, but some Nightwish videos and Auri videos are akso made by professional filmakers. For example; The Islander and Night13 respectively. Both also have "Making of" videos showing the issues of onsite shooting, combined with CG, and a custom in studio set for Night13. Might be interesting to combine the video with the making of video after it.

It is a compass and you can follow it right tru the video. He writes the cordinates for where Bismark was sinking

They have a historic background to their songs that you can read about. And they even.have a history channel where they break down the history behind the songs. All things in this video, boats, planes etc is really0 good done and authentic.

i love the shot at 12:13

@@manondereeper I am 66 and been to a lot of concerts over the years. NOTHING compares to what going to a Sabaton concert is like. The cheers, the tears very deferent ages and groups, the sing along's. What other group can have a song about a WW2 German Panzer division sing it to a 250,000 screaming crowd in Poland.

I like to refer to Sabaton as "Valor Metal" For more on the Battle of the Atlantic, I must recommend "Sink the Bismarck" a 1960 movie, free here on YT.

If you are up to a challange do the same thing with Rammstein's Deutschland

Here at KZread there is how they made this musicvideo.

2:54 I have read rumors that the legs dangling are the legs of Floor Jansen, singer of Nightwish and married to the drummer, Hannes van Dahl.
