- In the late morning of May 27th 1941, the Bismarck, a battleship shrouded in myth and mystery - the pride of the German Navy - was sunk by an overwhelming British armada in a battle that lastet just ninety minutes. O the 2,321 German vrewmembers aboard, only 115 survived. What was at stake when the British and Nazi fleets clashed that day was nothing less than the control of the Notrh Atlantic shipping lanes and the survival of Great Britain. Authors David Bercuson and Holger Helwig served as key historical advisors for James Cameron's Expedition: Bismarck, which has confirmed many of their assetrions, including that the Bismarck was sunk by British fire, not scuttled by the German navy. Bercuson and Herwig, using new research and previously sealed diplomatic and naval files, detail this monumental battle - one of the key turning points of WWII - in this engrossing moment-by-moment historical reconstruction.
