    One of the reasons why the Bismarck was so swiftly hunted down wasn’t just because it was one of the few German battleships in the Atlantic but also because the HMS Hood was the Pride of the British Fleet and a whole task force was assembled to hunt it down and sink it in revenge

      When an 1800lb shell explodes in your Main Powder magazine for C -Turret, and a magazine of 4" AA shells, any ship is going to have a bad day. Not to mention Hood had all of her blast doors open during the Battle, to move shells faster throughout the ship, but it doesn't matter if don't have time to close off, and flood the entire turret. Only 3 men survived, and their is an older Interview with one of HMS Hoods 3 survivors, and 2 survivors from Bismark. If u can find them, it's worth watching.

    • @Nyx_2142
      @Nyx_2142 Před rokem +7

      It still amuses me that Hood was considered the "Pride of the British Fleet" when damn near every sailor I've heard or read talk about their time on her only had bad things to say about the ship itself and the state she was in (rusted and machinery was worn out and broken nearly constantly), and how she was obsolete years before the war was even on the horizon. I've heard from relatives of sailors that served on her years before the war, and luckily got transferred, talk about what a shitty state she was in. Feel like "Pride of the British Fleet" could've gone to many other ships that weren't an obsolete, rusted, and breaking down Battlecruiser from 1916.

    • @Prankester6856
      @Prankester6856 Před rokem +5

      The main reason this task force was even assembled was because the Bismark was heading towards the Atlantic to reck havoc on the allied supply lines from the Americas the sinking of the hood only fuled the anger and determination to hunt it down, They literally called ships like the Rodny , the ark royal the aircraft carrier in the video from Gibraltar and probably 5 more ships from Scotland it just shows you how big of a threat this ship was

    I guess you could say Sabaton fits one of the themes of power metal; they are akin to bards telling a story.In the case where other power metal bands tell often fictional stories of knights and elves, Sabaton tells the stories of people who lived, things that actually happened. They tell stories of impressive acts of valor, of behemoth war machines with a deadly reputations, with men who's strategy, about events, about people who shaped history for all time. I feel there's something deeper about that.

    Fun Fact about this Bismarck video... Wargaming (A game developers known for World of Tanks and World of Warships) was in collaboration with Sabaton on this one, they are the one who made the CGI for the ships since the Bismarck itself was sunk during WWII and sits VERY deep on sea floor, so deep in fact that sunlight does not travel there anymore and the pressure is inhumanly high at this depth, so they ended collaborating with Wargaming so they could have great, realistic CGI of the Bismarck even though it was sunk so long ago.

    "Ghost division" same show
    "The red baron" live in Berlin 2019

    "Devil dogs"

Highly recommend checking these guys out live whenever you get the chance.

"82nd All The Way" or "Seven Pillars Of Wisdom" from their latest album, or live versions of "Ghost Division" (almost always their opening song), "Swedish Pagans", "40:1", "To Hell And Back", "Carolus Rex" or "Night Witches". Also, DEFINITELY check out Sabaton History! It's a channel they made with historian Indy Neidell where they go over the history that inspired the songs and some trivia about the song itself. Definitely worth a watch, and they have an episode for Bismarck if you want to give it a try without spoiling a future song reaction.

    I love how, with Bismarck specifically, the music has those perfect shifts between what's going on. After they set down the sound for the song in the first minute or so, the torpedo hits the Bismarck's rudder, the beginning of the end, then the melody shifts at the bridge during the pitched battle between Bismarck and the Royal Navy task force, the guitar solo following the final torpedo sealing Bismarck's fate and the thudding intensity of the following section as the surviving sailor struggles to escape the sinking ship and get to safety and then a final temp shift as the young man is picked up by a Royal navy ship, carrying his Captain's compass carrying the last co-ordinates of the Bismarck. As a history lover, the details in this song and video bring a tear to my eye.
    I've seen Sabaton, lucky enough to see them in London before the Pandemic lockdown happened and they were AMAZING live. Other recommended tracks from both a musical and historical standpoint: 40-1, A Lifetime of War, No Bullets Fly, Shiroyama, Attack of the Dead Men and Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
