Description: Hunt the Bismarck by Angus Konstam Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Now available in paperback, this is a groundbreaking narrative account of one of World War IIs most exciting chase stories, the pursuit of the legendary German battleship Bismarck. Publisher Description Hunt the Bismarck tells the story of Operation RheinÜbung, the Atlantic sortie of Nazi Germanys largest battleship, Bismarck, in May 1941 and her subsequent pursuit by the Royal Navy.Bismarck entered naval service in the summer of 1940. She was well-armed, with eight 15in guns as well as a powerful array of lighter weapons, while her armoured protection earned her the reputation of being unsinkable.This claim was put to the test in May 1941 when she sortied into the Atlantic and fought the legendary battle of the Denmark Strait, destroying HMS Hood, the pride of the Royal Navy. Bismarck was now loose in the North Atlantic. However, damage sustained in the battle limited her ability to roam at will, and the Royal Navy deployed the Home Fleet to avenge the sinking of the Hood. 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 of Bismarcks epic pursuit ever produced.
