Description
"The epic battle between the two great enemy ships captured the imagination of an entire generation and became a popular subject for movies and songs. With the discovery just a few years ago of the Bismarck's sunken hull off the coast of France, attention has focused again on the famous ship and the lives lost - only 115 of the 2,200 crew members were saved. Mullenheim-Rechberg presents the human dimensions of the story as well as the technical side, providing details of both code breaking and the damage that caused the Bismarck's demise. The book also offers insights into the author's life as a prisoner of war in England and Canada. Such a personal look at one of the most famous sea encounters in the history of World War II has never before been provided."--BOOK JACKET.
