Great Dane Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I just watched the 90 min. James Cameron documentary about the Bismarck on TV (2 days ago). I was so fascinated that I immediately ordered it on DVD /Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I too am fascinated with the story of the "Sink the Bismarck" events, and the movie is one of my faves. I finally received these German newspapers a couple days late from the 2 days following the sinking (down with UPS! ) of the Bismarck. These are very fun to read and have many stories about the war including one about Canada, but the main focus is the sinking of the Hood and the Bismarck. Admiral Liutens is pictured on the May 28, 1941 issue with a quote above him which I think says they fought to the last grenade or something close to that (my German is very basic). Anyways, just thought I'd share them. Here is the 28 Mai 1941 cover of the Kasseler Post (with a help wanted ad for Coca-Cola as well!).Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 and here is the cover of the 29 Mai 1941 edition of the Kasseler Post, with more Bismarck stories. Any comments on these papers are welcome as well.Thanks,Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Orchard Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 and he wrote on the back of the photo:" Battleship Bismarck, 35000 to-passed on the evening of 21.5.41. Herdlo (where the man was staioned in Norway).24.5.41 sunk the Hood27.5.41 Bismarck was sunk.That should read Herdla, a large LW airfield in SW Norway.Talking of Bismarck. Has anyone else noticed that several Bismarck docs and groups have just come on the market in the last week or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I recently purchased a large autograph collection from Germany, with many Kriegsmarine photos. One is a postcard of Bismarck, signed by a number of the survivors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
