The pride of the Third Reich, the best warships of the Kriegsmarine with 380 mm main caliber artillery, 320 mm armor and a speed of more than 30 knots, they were supposed to change the balance of power at sea. However, the Bismarck died a heroic death in the very first military campaign in May 1941 - and the “hunt” for him became a legend: fighting against the main forces of the British fleet, the Bismarck sank the battlecruiser Hood, was seriously damaged by torpedo bombers, fought off from destroyers, did not flinch under the fire of two enemy battleships, which literally riddled him with shells, and the last fatal blow was dealt to him by torpedoes from a heavy cruiser. The Tirpitz outlived its brother by three and a half years and was sunk by British aircraft, which used heavy-duty 5.5-ton bombs ... In this book you will find comprehensive information about the creation, combat service and heroic death of Hitler's legendary battleships.
