The Bismarck was a battleship of the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) and formed the Bismarck class with her sister ship Tirpitz. At the time of her commissioning in August 1940 under the command of Captain Ernst Lindemann, she was considered the largest and most powerful battleship in the world.

If I’m not mistaken, ships are usually and traditionally seen as feminine and called she/her. Bismarck though, was so enormous and powerful it was considered male. That’s why Joakim sings ‘bout “he” in the song.

50 minutes and 2800 shells surrounded on all sides. 😂 fuckin legends

This song is about a real battle that happened. The Bismarck, Germany's navy's flagship at the start of world war two, got a lucky hit on Britain's flagship, the Hood, killing 1418 men in an instant, ripped asunder by a mighty explosion, burnt, drowned - only three of Hood's crew survived. The Royal Navy then began a legendary and very dramatic hunt for the Bismarck, eventually crippling the ship's rudder and bringing her down in a prolonged slugging match where an entire task force just pounded Bismarck into a bloody, burning wreck. Out of a crew of 2200 men, only 114 survived, 2086 souls were lost in violence and fire. Epic, yes - but this story also chronicles the deaths of literally *thousands* of souls, all for ... what, really? Sabaton keeps history alive, so that we don't forget its lessons and tragedies.

Hello, well written with a small correction. The Bismarck had no "luck" against the Hood. The HMS Hood was clearly inferior to the Bismarck in terms of armament and armor. The "luck" was on the side of the Royal Navy that the torpedo of the double-decker bombers destroyed the steering gear of the Bismarck and the battleship could only sail in circles and not flee from the superior British fleet.

No doubt it was a Bismarck shell that started the chain of events, who knows might solely be the shell and a direct hit on the magazine's that cause it. Either way, Rest in peace all those sailors lost, on both sides of the battle.

Isn't that more interesting than "now class turn to page 15 of of the text book and write a thousand word essay on the German navy, its ships and leadership".... I'd have done much better at history if I'd had seen this band... Lol. I suggest "night witches" with the yarn hub video.... Your goose bumps will have goose bumps....

Check out the Sabaton History Channel's feature on this. The Kriegsmarine is the German Navy, and Bismarck was their flagship. If she (some say he, although this wasn't normal practice and never has been) was free to roam the Atlantic and get among the convoys in WW2, the battle of the Atlantic (and with it, WW2) would have been lost. The video for this is a masterpiece itself - the pocket compass you see in this is actually a replica, the original having been passed to the son of the last surviving veteran of the Bismarck sinking, who is I believe the fisherman at the start of the video.

Bismarck was most likely the only ship referred to as 'he'. They decided it's too big and powerful to be considered a female. I mean with cannons so strong the recoil damaged the ship I can see the point.

The Battle of the Atlantic would have been harder, but the Allies still would have won, the Royal Navy and later the USN simply had too many ships, especially carriers, for the Kriegsmarine to win in the end. Bismarck was crippled by squadron of biplanes, imagine what Devastators or Avengers would have done to it.

@phillee2814

@@Philosopher419 The swordfish heroically managed to score a very lucky hit in the only spot in which Bismarck was vulnerable, and did so largely by being too low and slow for the anti-aircraft guns to effectively range on them, making the only effective fire completely manual. Aircraft types such as you describe were exactly what the AAA and its fire-control systems were designed to combat, and they would probably have been highly effective at doing so, even if they could have found her without their carriers being blown from under them once their bombs had glanced off her heavy armour and they'd been followed within range of home. Remember, the Battle of the Atlantic was a very close run thing, so would a battleship have been the tipping force? Churchill thought so.

Sabaton can be used to learn history, take a song- listen and then search and read. My son learned history this way and was used almost as a teacher at age 14 - he knew more than the teacher about pretty much every conflict in Europe over the decades back to year 0. All because of listening to Sabaton and diving into history.

Sabaton is the band of causing chills. Listening is like a constant cycle of getting chills over and over.

The Aircraft Carrier shown is likely HMS Ark Royal. It was her 818th Torpedo Bomber Squadron in hopelessly outdated Fairey Swordfish who managed to finally cripple Bismarck, a Torpedo damaging her rudder which allowed the pursuing Royal Naval Forces to catch up.

More Sabaton!

The Kriegsmarine was the German Navy in WW2... and the Bismark was their Crownjewel, the biggest and mightiest battelship on the oceans to that time. But it had just a short time on the seas, it battled the british Navy and destroyed them, but then was hunted down by a big fleet and the Royal Airforce and sunk western of Denmark.

"I feel like I'm watching a movie." Yeah, pretty much.

also the bismarck was name for Otto, Prince of Bismarck, Count of Bismarck-Schönhausen, Duke of Lauenburg the first first chancellor until 1890, that german president, and tripitz was for Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz.

Sabaton is military history power metal. It’s ALL military history and a good reason a lot of kids pass their history tests 😉 They have a second channel Sabaton History to talk about the stories behind their songs. Check out Winged Hussars, Night Witches, and No Bullets Fly. Always look up the story ahead of time and always watch to the very end of the videos. The Kriegsmarine is the German word for the German military naval forces. The end of the video for Bismarck said it was dedicated to all those lost in the Battle of the Atlantic. FYI the drummer for Sabaton is Floor Jansen’s husband 😁 Hanes Van Dahl is a lucky guy 😜 Also, the guys in Sabaton are SUPER NICE and do things like bring little kids up on stage at concerts 👍 Thanks again for a great video and have a fantastic night 🤘😎🎸

Sabaton published a "making of" on this video, which is quite interesting if you care about the how-to.

The Kriegsmarine was the name for the german Navy under Nazi rule. The Bismarck was the most feared Battleship of the Altlantic Theatre of War. Because it was capable of raiding Transports without sinking them, since it had not only Battleship Caliber Guns but also an array of Secondary armament of smaller Caliber, perfect for that job. Giving it the capability of prolonging it´s operational time by stealing food and Fuel from ships destined for England to help fight the Nazis.

Agree, for that one I really recommend the _animated version_ : SABATON - No Bullets Fly (Animated Story Video) , and make sure to watch it all through the very end.

The Bismark was an absolute monster of a battleship, outclassing absolutely everything in its half of the world. And then those crazy bastards in tiny little Swordfish, old-school biplanes literally still made of wood, charged straight at it. I don't know if those pilots were steely-eyed killing machines with ice water in their veins or half-suicidal maniacs, but it pretty much had to be one or the other, right?

A brief history. The Bismarck sank the H.M.S. Hood, the best and supposedly unsinkable ship in the British Navy. It sank so fast that very few were able to get off before it did. This angered the British so much they ordered a hit on the Bismarck, sink her at any cost, and the hunt began. When they finally caught the Bismarck it sank even faster than the H.M.S. Hood, so almost no one made it off before it did.
