Under the watchful eye of Jagdeschwader 77’s Me109 fighters, in company with the battlecruiser
Prinz Eugen, and destroyers Hans Lody and Z23, Germany’s magnificent new battleship Bismarck
is seen manoeuvring near Korsfjord Bergen on May 21, 1941. That evening, with Prinz Eugen,
she will leave for Arctic waters, the Denmark Strait, the Atlantic, and destiny. Within days
the pride of the German Kriegsmarine will have passed into history.
A TESTIMONY TO BISMARCK AND ‘OPERATION RHEINUBUNG’ – ONE OF
THE BRIEFEST YET MOST REMARKABLE NAVAL EPISODES OF WORLD WAR II
'Voyage Into Destiny' is authenticated with the signatures
of two highly respected Luftwaffe pilots who flew in the Norwegian Theatre,
together with a veteran survivor from the Battleship Bismarck
