Hunt the Bismarcktells the story of OperationRheinübung, the Atlantic sortie of the Nazi Germany's largest battleship in May 1941.Bismarckentered service in the summer of 1940. She was well-armed, with eight 15-inch guns as well as a powerful array of lighter weapons, while her armoured protection earned her the reputation of being unsinkable. This claim was finally put to the test in May 1941, when she sortied into the Atlantic and fought the legendary battle of the Denmark Strait, destroying HMSHood, the pride of the Royal Navy.Bismarckwas now loose in the North Atlantic. However, damage sustained in the battle limited her ability to roam at will, while the Royal Navy deployed the Home Fleet to revenge theHood. The stage was set for the greatest chase story in the history of naval warfare.Drawing on a wealth of first-hand accounts, and intertwining extensive research into a fast-paced narrative, this is the most readable and accurate account ofBismarck's epic voyage ever produced. **Review“A riveting account of Bismarck's famous encounter with HMS Hood and its ultimate destruction.” ―History of War magazineAbout the Author
