We’ve probably all heard that expression before. Do you remember what happened?
The British navy sank a number of Italian warships at the Battle of Cape Matapan.
Then the German battleship, “Bismarck,” destroyed the British battle cruiser “HOOD” off the coast of Iceland.
After that, British air and naval forces eventually destroyed the “Bismarck” after a 1/ ½ hour bombardment.
This all happened in 1941. I’m going to do some more research on this.
What are your thoughts on this subject?

Me too. I love history and I read and research it all the time. I've just gotten a couple new books and I'm reading some very fascinating things, which I plan to share on mylot..

I saw the movie Sink the Bismarck a long time ago and don't remember the particulars.

I thought there was a movie about it, but I don't remember any of it either.

Yes, I remember hearing about this and reading about it at school. There is a movie Sink the Bismark from 1960.
