4.0 out of 5 stars Worth watching Jan 25 2007
By I. Chiang - Published on Amazon.com
There are two worth-talking stories of German warships in World War II. One is the Admiral Graf Spee and the other is the Bismarck, pride of the German Navy.

Just like the Titanic, the mighty battleship Bismarck, built secretly, took a one-way ticket in his maiden voyage. Both ships are both found by Dr. Robert Ballard later thanking to modern equipments. The mission of the Bismarck was to blockade the British. After he sank the HMS Hood in a pretty short time, it caused a tremendous shock to the British and the Royal Navy was anxiously trying any way possible to sink him.

The style is similar to the DVD "The Battle of Midway" released by NG. Documentaries, interviews with survivors in that battle, and the progress of searching the sunken Bismarck interweave through this film. The going is smooth without redundancy.

I recommend this film to people who are interested in WW II history and battleships. If you like "The Battle of Midway" and "The Lost Fleet of Guadalcanal", both released by NG, you would like this, too.

It is to my surprise that no one has reviewed this DVD. I think it deserves better and so I wrote the first review of it.

This is a well-done documentary which one would expect to come from National Geographic. I really liked it and would recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful Peice of History Aug 15 2011
By Admiral Snackbar - Published on Amazon.com
The story of locating the Bismark seemed overshadowed by the story of its destructive powers and its destruction, not to mention an apparent death of loved of an expeditionary of this adventure. I believe it was the son of Dr. Ballard. You have my most sincere condolences for your tragic loss. From a historical perspective it was well done. The interviews of those taking part in its final moments made the story come alive. The ships themselves were as lifeless monsters and the crew as the blood that pushed them along. The story too, separated them this way. The editors in every way tried to keep any gore or other horrific scenes out of the film but I found one that slipped through. Somewhere towards the part where the Bismark was to get its final death blow, a few frames seemed to have been missed as they didn't appear to belong to anything that was going on at the time. The scene was one of a man whose head, torso and right arm were raised in terror as he was swept under a ship. This could only have been when the HMS Dortsetshire sped away at was reported as a German U-Boat sighting. It was 0:35 minutes into the clip as the torpedoes hit the water. Watching the few frames in slow motion was a dreadful sight. Other than that it was an interesting documentary.
