This footages are filmed on-board of the Germany heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen
0:04 The bow of Prinz Eugen, viewed from the bridge section showing 20.3 cm SK C/34 naval gun
0:27 Bismarck in the distance viewed from Prinz Eugen
0:39 Again Bismarck from other angle
0:41 The zooming-in image of the Bismarck
0:42 The superfiring 20.3 cm SK C/34 naval guns angled slightly starboard to avoid the damage from waters entering the gun barrel or maybe just for show because they never showed the angled gun anymore
0:50 Again footage of Prinz Eugen's bow steaming toward waves, during this day the waves are really high, there's even a report from board of HMS Prince of Wales that during the engagement her turret rangefinder cannot be used because of sprays from the high waves
1:13 Demonstration of the gun turret elevation of the 20.3 cm SK C/34 naval gun
1:21 Finally the footage of the battle of Denmark strait. Bismarck opened fire to HMS Hood the visible water splashes are supposedly shells from Prince of Wales. (note: at this footage Eugen has taken the led of the fleet formation because of the newly installed Bismarck's radar system malfunctioning because the schockwave from her own guns as she opened fire at HMS Norfolk before she met HMS Hood and Prince of Wales here).
2:18 visible smoke on the left (at the distance is Prince of Wales). The smoke is from the exploded shells scored by Prinz Eugen one hit the UP rocket projector and the other shell exploded near her mast causing this visible smoke.
The smoke on the right is from HMS Hood burning from magazine explosion while HMS Prince of Wales make a turn to avoid the burning wreck of her
I made this from the battle report from both German side and the RN from the Wikipedia and HMS Hood(dot)com, if there's any mistakes please elaborate so we could understand the footage more clearly.
Thanks for the information :)
Context like this is always valued!
I have one doubt at. 1:21 where was camera..hms hood ?
@UCKRelhNIWOSL_wbIlj8gqHw I'm not sure either but thanks for commenting, just like you said Hood mistaken prince Eugen who led the fleet as Bismarck during initial first salvos from RN side, and HMS Hood exploded after Prince of Wales fired five consecutive firing (from this battle map: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/090102_PoW_gunnery_plot.png) since Hood magazine exploded in the third salvos from Bismarck and out of order immediately I'm assuming that the splashes are from the still operational 356mm of Prince of Wales bacause in this:
www.hmshood.com/history/denmarkstrait/pgbattlemap.gif Prince of Wales keep returning fire while Prinz Eugen maneuver and kgv class has much more guns so I'm assuming that the splashes are the result from the more advanced computer balistic of the Admiralty Fire Control Table (A.F.C.T.) installed on KGV class. For safety reason of misinformation I'll change the splashes to RN's gun instead since both 356 and 380 mm gun isn't noticeable enough.

@T C Sorry, can’t hear you over our back to back World War Championships.
Its pretty hard to colorize battleships in battleship gray painting fighting in the fog and grey mist of the Northern Atlantic.
Actually not all battleships were "battleship gray" during WWII. For the Bismarck see here: www.kbismarck.com/drawings.html, I personally like the Baltic scheme with the black & white stripes and false bow wave.
The Royal Navy was adopting various camouflage schemes at this time including painting some ships brown, green and light gray! Though in May both Hood and PoW were in Home Fleet dark gray (507a, I believe, could have been 507b, would have to double check to be sure).
The US navy had adopted its first group of camouflage measures by this time.
The Italians were also using camouflage schemes on its ships including yellow.
The Japanese where hold outs using on overall dark gray.
Fifty Shades of Grey?
I like the prismatic paint they has back then... this video highlights it so well
Also this battle happened in the vary late evening if I remember correctly so that would also have an affect

If not mistaken Glorious was a c
Glorious was a carrier and her escorts destroyers.
Fun fact, Bismark lies at the second deepest depth of any other warship sunk in the Atlantic during war time, ever. It beats the Titanic's resting depth by over half a mile. When Bismark sank, she slipped beneath the waves stern first and plummeted to the bottom at a speed of almost 30 knots. This descent continued for approximately 2 miles before her bow impacted the Western slope of a long extinct underwater volcano and the ship "slid" down this underwater mountain until it came to rest several thousand feet further down roughly 2/3rds of the volcano's total height. Despite the massive pounding Bismark took from torpedos, 14 and 15 inch shells, and a wide other assortment of punishment before she was scuttled it was discovered by Robert Ballard, the same man who discovered Titanic some years before, that no critical hits had been scored below the waterline and the armored belt at the midsection port AND starboard showed no holes. The only thing that sank Bismark was her crew, as it became quite clear after the unfortunate torpedo hit to the rudder chain that there would be no escape.
There is little actual evidence it was scuttled. It sank as it was hit from TORPEDOES from the Cruiser HMS Dorsetshire. And was taking on water and listing at this point.
All the command were dead. (Who gave the order to scuttle?). The crew were abandoning ship, here is the strange part. Some few survivors and one claims he was sent to place charges on a ship which is clearly sinking. In the middle of heavy fire. The ship promptly sank and rolled (scuttled ships sink evenly not rolling) which suggests battle damage.
Also the guy who claims it was undamaged, film maker Cameron does so from the claim there's no hole in the side when there is a huge massive section of midships missing. For a start he isn't an expert and for a second the ships so wrecked midships something clearly ripped a hole in it. Then there is the claim it didn't implode so must have been full of water. Which again we are aware of. It took on lots of water prior to sinking hence why it was sitting so low in the water.
The Royal Navy later sent an expedition which saw the heavy damage and came to the conclusion it was sunk by combat. And even if scuttled this only speeded it's sinking by hours or minutes.
@@KatyushaLauncher allied propaganda
They should have put some sound delay on the guns firing.
haha what... the silent hunter sound effects are not doing it for you?
It is not that they should have put some sound delay, but that they should not have artificially accelerated the sound for synchronizing visual/sound. Clearly there was a distance of nearly a mile between Prinz Eugen and Bismarck while sound could not travel as fast as light.
And now gentlemen, imagine being one of the three survivors drifting in THIS HEAVY SEA!!!
Not to mention the cold. Very lucky young men indeed.

It's unfortunate and sad how so many today take our grandparents sacrifices for granted.
someone should deoldify The World At War series
Idk about 'deoldify', but they could add color... Heard it's alot easier, anyway. 😉
@Gort Newton ok boomer
It's amazing what technology can do these days, bringing color to black and white photos and film just make it seem more realistic. The only gripe that I have with this video is that when Bismarck fires her guns, there should be a slight delay between when we see them go off, and when we hear them. I'm not sure how far away Prinz Eugene was from Bismarck in these shots, but I would assume that she's far enough away for there to a slight delay in between seeing the guns fire and then hearing them. Other than that, awesome job.
I was thinking the same thing.
the original film was silent. the sounds were added from silent hunter game iirc.
@@FookFish yea i've seen the original a few times, could of delayed the sound to make it more realistic, just saying.
The firing Bismarck was filmed from the german cruiser "Prinz Eugen". It survived this battle and the war.
Also survived a nuclear bomb test with hardly any damage.
@@mikhailr13 doitsu kagaku seikai ichi still thoe they did not have to do that to a war prize they kept the U boats but it would be much more rewarding to see the infamous escort ship of what is now an internet legend in the comunity
Gilbert Nicht Tot It took part in the test because its propulsion was utterly ruined, german machinery of the period is infamous for poor reliability and it was ruined pretty much the moment the german crews went home, as americans didn’t know how to maintain it properly. While it took little damage in the test, it was now heavily irradiated, and could not be saved even if americans were for some reason willing to preserve an enemy ship.
@@hibikinyan7180 ooof overly complex engine

Really bothers me even in fictitious action movies when the sound designer decides sound somehow travels with the speed of light.
Came here to say the same thing. Video is better with the fake sound muted.
yup. was about to comment the same.
But what about the speed of dark?
So true. And I bet it's far more terrifying in real life. The shell would hit you before the sound I'd guess
Or movies like Star wars where sound travels at the speed of light through the vacuum of space.
Rip brave sailors on both sides
love the gunsounds from Silent Hunter 4
Water sounds at the bow are also from SH lol
yup, but wish they would have gotten the delay between the flash and hearing over a mile away
1:52 I think you can see the fatal hit on Bismarck! That low white foam mass erupting near the bows is a waterline hit, not a wave -- it's the one that breached the oil tanks and slowed Bismarck down, leaking oil, so that she had to head back to port (reduced range due to loss of fuel oil). Also, the leaking oil left a trail in the sea that helped the British find her.
Good eye. must've got her just above the waterline for no splashes
Fascinating, you can see the missed shots from the Hood at the stern and then well in front of the bow.
They're bracketing the Bismarck.
Those are POW shell splashes. Hood never fired on Bismarck as she initially targeted Prinz Eugen, having mistaken her for Bismarck. By the time she realised her mistake and shifted fire to Bismarck, it was too late.
One, or two, of Hoods main turrets fired after the catastrophic explosion.

To improve it I would have the sound delay after the guns fire. It’s clear that the camera man is acting to the sound of the guns well after they’ve seen them fire. That speed of sound delay would add so much to the recording.
Too bad this video didn't show the bright flash when the Hood blew up. All I saw was what came after: the black smoke column from the distance. The video cut short. I think in the original full length footage from the battle of Denmark Strait there's a precious shot where you can see the bright flash when the Hood's magazine ignited, the camera dropped a little but the flash is still in the picture frame... RIP HOOD. Great work on colorizing it. Only wish this video is more complete.

One thing you can say about the British. They sure knew how to make battlecruisers that would blow up once hit.
Well, when you make big ships with big guns and poor armor, and then decide to f*ck around and find out...you find out
@@Hammy52891The original battlecruisers purpose was just to hunt cruisers not to fight a slugging match with heavier units like battleships, So big guns and light armor for increased speed is not a terrible design
@@KatyushaLauncher Not terrible in theory, clearly terrible in execution.
@@Hammy52891 If done right you can expect the battlecruiser's excellent performance in actual combat like The Battle of the Falkland Islands in WW1 in which the British battlecruisers decimated the armoured cruisers of Germany
@Cw Sayre The ships blowing up at Jutland was entirely Beatty's fault. He ordered the removal of flash protection doors to increase the rate of fire and ordered that ammunition and cordite be stored in the turrets. At Jutland he closed the range with the German battlecruisers when his larger guns had a clear range advantage. There was nothing wrong with those "bloody ships." The problem was his bloody command. Case in point HMS Tiger which took an absolute pounding at Jutland but because it's captain ignored Beatty's orders to remove flash protection it survived.
Nice! The ship being fired against in this footage aka the HMS Hood, is the ship featured in the shots I left links to in the HMS Barham videos comment section, any chance seeing at least parts of those featuring the Hood in colour? The second link had a pretty good front on shot of Hood sailing at the camera.
Thanks! Working on it now. Looking good so far 👍 should be up by tomorrow.
Thank you! I appreciate it, sorry if I’ve come off as rude, I just wanted to mention it in case they’d gone unnoticed :)

It was called 35mm motion pictures, and the speed was turned up from 24 to 60 fps... not that it looks like they actually did that here.
would not hear the report of the guns at the same time as the flash at that distance.
And the sound of a ship cut through the sea is nothing like the breaking against a rock sound they used
@motaz1975
Totally correct, if the sound had been original, or correctly added the sound of Bismarc´s gun should have reached the camera on Prinz Eugen ca 10-11 seconds after the flash with the actual distance between the ships.
@@joakimwohlfeil That's the unfortunate thing though, there was no original sound.
The unforgiving North Atlantic 🥺
UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE!! This is incredible!
Incredibly at 1:36 if you have the patience to advance the footage frame by frame (by VERY fast play / pause) you can in one frame see the actual incoming shell from HMS Prince of Wales as a tiny smudge just above the water surface a millisecond before it impacts the surface of the water and throws up an enormous waterspout in the centre right of the screen, near the end of the smoke plume from Bismarck's previous fired salvo. You may have to try a few times before you managfe to pause on the exact frame.
I say incredible because I estimate that that 14' shell was travelling at approx 1500mph as it hit the water.
you can just see something
Wierd seeing this. My grandad joined the Royal Marines. But he was removed from training when they noticed he had hammer toes. But most of the guys he trained with ended up on the Hood.
If my grandad had straight toes I might not be here.
Was he from West Sussex?
@@visionist7 Yes. Though not originally.
@@elitedavidhorne8494 most of Hood's crew were from that county. Almost nobody living there today knows it though.

What is a hammer toe??
What happened to the other video of this? Some channel which had a lot of colorizations disappeared
I love how the 6 inchers have more of a *POP* and the 15s are just *BANG*
The most striking thing for me is the silence when the guns don't roar. Just the sound of the ship's hull - men at war's homes and battlestations, aswell as tombs for some - cut through the deep blue waves of the unforgiving North Atlantic.
That said, stunning footage and excellent colorization. Definitely adds to the already bone-chilling events that unfolded that day.
this isnt even the original audio. most likely filmed without any sound.
Silent cine film!
@@dmer-zy3rb Yep !! If the sound had been original, or correctly added the sound of Bismarc´s gun should have reached the camera on Prinz Eugen ca 10-11 seconds after the flash with the actual distance between the ships.
Incredible - thanks for posting this
Thank you for upload 👍
This is a historic treasure regardless of it's short length. It is a brief prelude to the immense drama that was about to occur. I personally have experienced naval guns in action. The projectile can actually be seen as it leaves the muzzle of the gun. With a good set of field glasses, the projectile can actually be seen skipping along the surface of the seas if it has found the limit of it's range without hitting the intended target. The North Atlantic is a rough ride and keeping the guns sighted is not an easy task.
20-30 years ago I remember reading something based on reports from an observation of this battle that came to the conclusion that it wasn't a shell from the Bismarck that sunk the Hood, but instead a salvo from the Prinz Eugen, which had fairly powerful guns of her own. Don't remember the details and haven't seen it since, but it seemed convincing enough.
It is true that Prinz Eugen scored the first hit and caused a fire in ready ammunition lockers on deck. It was suggested that the fire then spread down shafts all the way down to the after main magazine. Nobody will of course ever have the 100% proved full incident report, but the 203mm shell fire theory however includes so many coincidences that must have taken place so it´s generally seen as to unlikely. So most expert seems to stick with the good old Occam's razor theory (that the most likely scenario in nearly all cases also turns out to be the true explanation....)
Yeah, today we know that it could've only been the Bismarck, as Prinz Eugen disengaged before Hood was damaged (and exploded 3mins later)
@@anthrazite intresting, it was a while since i read about this. Why did PE disengage, or did she shift target to HMS PoW before Bismarc did so. I know PoW was seriously hit by Bismarc, do you know if she was hit by PE as well ?
@@joakimwohlfeil Bismarck ordered the PE too, the Bismarck crew determined that they could handle the situation by themselves

Obviously the sound has been added because if it was real world there would be a delay between the muzzle flash and the heard sound.
2:13 is the ammo hit, am i right????
A significant historical incident that seems so long ago & so far away. Very interesting footage for sure.

Terrifying naval combat on frigid high seas.
This is about as scary as it gets.
Listening to the boom of 15 inch projectiles being fired is scary.
Amazing! History buffs of this,should also read the book.”Pursuit “,by Ludovic Kennedy,a British Naval Officer,who was aboard a British destroyer,part of the task force that hunted the Bismarck down,and sunk her- the Prinz Eugen, escaped-
The colour and sound make this footage profoundly better. Amazing. Thank you.
The sounds were added 8n by a different person, from Silent Hunter 3
So what are we look at hear? What ship is that from 1:21? Is there any footage of the The Hood getting hit a sunk?
This is Bismarck, filmed from Prinz Eugen. It is early in the battle, when Bismarck was on Prinz Eugens starboard aft quarter. Bismarck later crossed over Prinz Eugens wake after sinking Hood. As far as I know there is no video footage of Hood sinking. Only Prince of Wales would have been close enough, but crewmen in the open would have other things on their minds when Hood exploded, for example taking cover to avoid being hit by shrapnel
2:17 Is apparently smoke from the Hood after blowing up. Apparently the actual explosion was filmed, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere
Did anyone else notice the stabilized AA director moving as the ship rolled at about 1:00?
SL-8 "Wackeltopf" AA rangefinder (Wackeltopf = "wobbly pot")
Well, I am sure this is on the Prinz Eugen. Nice reference as the bow is not depicted as such in scale modeling. I see no red on top of any turrets. Super nice footage of that fateful moment in history. Prinz Eugen went through the war unscathed. Ending up at Bikini Atoll A-bomb testing.
I heard stories from survivors of the Bismarck were cheering after the battle but shortly after, realized that those were fellow sailors being blown to bits, drowning, etc (likely had no idea that only three survived), and the British were gonna be pissed about losing the Hood. Seeing sonar imagery of hood wreckage is sad because it was torn to pieces on the way to the bottom.
how could they so far away
Speed of sound is equal to speed of light?
The sound effects of a beach in the middle of a ocean lol....
But, that is really the sounds you will hear when on a big ship, while cruising through high waves.
its sounds of waves hitting Bismarck...
@@ascathon7069 I cruised to Argentina with my biological grandma. Also cruised to Hawaii and the UK. I smoked so many cigs on the UK ship standing outside.
And in the middle of the ocean, it sounded more like water bumping metal. Similar to the water that hits our detroit tanker in Michigan. I rode that too. This sound like the beach when I was in Florida.
Cheers ppl.
The sounds are from Silent Hunter 3
No ocean was safe. There's no open war now, but for back then, this was a grim reality.
Totally agree with tjakal - if you’re going to fake the sound, at least get the timing correct.
It annoys me when the panels come up at the end obstructing the view of the video, why not leave them out altogether?
A video is worth a thousand pictures👍🎥
Imagine being on the receiving end of those hideous broadsides.
Actually it was plunging fire which doomed the Hood with her decks choosen to be unarmored in favor of heavier topsides above the water
@@tommypetraglia4688 That's actually a misconception. At the time when Hood was sunk she was so close to the Bismark that a deck hit was highly unlikely, and penetration essentially impossible (the shells would have hit at too shallow of an angle and bounced off). More probable that Bismark penetrated Hood's belt armour (which was not especially thick either).
@@nerd1000ify That's a truly strange statement, @Tommy Petraglia actually gets it perfectly right. Hood had a insufficient deck amour while she actually in all was one of the heaviest armored battleships afloat regarding the rest of the armor schedule. Hood was definitely not a badly protected ship. The changes (decided as a consequence of Jutland experiences) in her construction from the original BC design added sometimes 100% thickness of armor. According to unanimous expert analytics the last turn of Adm Holland intended to bring Hood closer in to the German ships to not expose her decks, but rely on the better vertical projection to deal with flat trajectory fire. But instead a plunging shell hit before Hood was close enough. www.hmshood.com/reference/written/asnejournal32.htm
@@tommypetraglia4688 Just have to correct you there. Hoods decks were not unarmoured. She had 3 inches of deck armour above the magazines and vital areas. Might not sound like much but it was competitive with most battleships when she was built.
@@nerd1000ify Hoods waterline belt armour was 12 inches thick. Same as Bismarck's.

Plot twist the first 30sec is real 4K and then it’s all a recreation made with legos
I'm really surprised that the crew members of the KMS Prinz Eugen had the time to record what was going on. Maybe it's just me but this footage felt sorta empty without dramatic background music being played during the entire filming (sorry I've been watching to many WW2 movies). It was so quiet and the only thing you hear is the sound of their cannons firing.
Btw if any of you are wondering, my profile picture is actually KMS Bismarck from Azur Lane
OMG....The young men on board the Hood.
How scary with headphones on.
Bismarck received: Devestating strike
hms_hood received: Detonation
A pretty ship. A courageous crew. In my mind, I keep saying "Go back, go back." Most of those men on the Bismarck knew they would never return to Germany.
I read recently that the Bismarck was missing two of four of a particular type of AA gun. The two missing were supposed to go near the aft section of the ship (where it was struck), in back of the funnel. For some unknown reason, those two AA guns were shipped to the USSR, which was an ally of Germany at the time. Really incredible.
The AA fire from the Bismarck was not bad, btw. The Swordfish was a string bag. Shoot it full of holes and it would still fly.
the video is smoother than my life

the Bismarck didn’t get lucky, it’s superior optics and targeting systems prevailed.

Awm Joeyjoejoe TBF, german naval guns were amazing for the time and their most notable feature was their accuracy.

So superior that it managed no hits in its final battle.

If you search out footage from the Hood expedition (which found the wreck) they have some beautiful rare color footage of Hood. Also, of course, (have to be that guy) gun flashes would be seen before the reports are heard, because physics.
Damn awesome footage

Probably one of the most historic naval clashes in history and there is great footage of it. It so eary how calm everything Is when only the big guns are firing. It's not like the pacific war footage where it's planes vs ships and rounds are being shot all over the place. it's just the slow salvos of the massive guns going off with water plumes landing nearby

Those were young men, little more than boys, young and stupid, being killed on both sides. Cannon fodder.
The 4K doesn't matter nor the 60FPS. If anything it kinda makes it shakey and extra pixilated. But the effort is appreciated. Just that no ammount of extra effort is going to make it look better than it did on an old CRT screen.
Ja lange ist es her,als Deutschland noch eine richtige Marine hatte die Kämpfen konnte, außerdem ein wunderschönes Schiff, mit Tapferen Männer die unvergessen sind. Ruhet in Frieden!
Das "wunderschöne Schiff" war leider schon bei Kiellegung obsolet.
Und gut, dass diese Episode der deutschen Geschichte ein frühes Ende fand.

I can't see the smoke from the Prince of Wales due to TH-cam putting ads on top of that part of the frame . Arghh!
That is most annoying. Any way to get rid of these? It spoils an otherwise fascinating video.
The British were shocked at the speed witch the Hood was lost, what they diden understand as yet was the Gun Fire Control System the Bismarck was using was similar to the Iowa calss radar mk38 system witch was extreamly accurate and dident have to "zero in", if that lucky shot torpedo dident hit the Bismarcks rudder that ship would have caused hell in the Atlantic.
It would have had to return to port anyway. It was losing too much oil due to a bow hit below the waterline from the Prince of Wales.
It would have eventually met its same end to aircraft albeit a few weeks later .
History tends to play out as it does
In the footage of the Bismarck firing, she is firing at the Prince of Wales, not the Hood. Hood has already blown up. It can be clearly seen in the footage that the Bismarck is down by the bow from a hit she took from Prince of Wales forward of the armored citadel in a lightly protected area of the ship. The waves can be clearly seen breaking over the bow as the stern rides noticeably higher. The seas are calm and there is no reason the Bismarck should have seas breaking over her foredeck! She has been damaged!
"From the mist, a shape, a ship is taking form!"
And the silence of the sea about to drift in to a storm
Pacific: Iowa vs Yamato
Atlantic: *Sink the Bismarck!*
*wAiT wHaT*
If you notice you will see every big shops were destroyed in wwii like yamato,bismarck,hood
HOOD was a older ship wears the Bismarck newer and had a range finder on it ....... and also gun stabilizer
Im pretty sure Bismarck had its own footage taken from her deck, pitty it probably went down with her.
She did indeed have a team of nazi naval war correspondents onboard, ready to record Bismarck's escapades which would have been iconic footage, and it was all VERY close to being saved as on the evening of the 26th May one of Bismarck's Arado AR-196 reconnaisance aircraft was readied to take off carrying her war diary, all the news reporter's film footage and reports as well as hundreds of "last letters" from crewmen to their loved ones back home, but at the last moment it was discovered that the high pressure air equipment that powered the ship's catapult had been irreparably damaged by one of HMS Prince of Wales' hits on 23rd May, and the aircraft could not be launched. And so it all went to the bottom with not one reporter amongst the survivors.
It's cool and all, but the speed of sound exists.
Silent Hunter 3 sounds dont cut it?
The crazy thing is, Bismarck's main radar had been disabled by the ship's own guns when she fired on the two british cruisers that were shadowing her and the Prinz Eugen. Despite that, she showcased excellent gun accuracy during the battle with Hood and Prince of Wales. Bismarck hit Hood first with her third salvo when one of her shells struck and destroyed Hood's fire control tower, before eventually landing the fatal shot with her fifth salvo. This needs to be repeated, BISMARCK ONLY HAD TO FIRE 50 15-inch shells before she scored the fatal hit, while Hood fired 10 salvoes during the whole engagement at both german ships and didn't score even a single hit.
It took Prince of Wales six salvoes to score her first hit on Bismarck (though that in part was because her guns weren't working properly). Bismarck hit Prince of Wales WITH HER FIRST SALVO right after Hood had been sunk when she struck her bridge, killing most of the sailors there.
Bismarck's performance during the engagement, contrary to what some people i've seen claimed, IS NOT OVERRATED. For a ship whose main radar wasn't even working, her gunnery was phenomenal. Which shoudn't come as a surprise given that the german navy was renowned in both world wars for having some of the best gunnery in the world.
Instead of uninformed wehraboo gushing, try some facts on for size.
Apart from HMS Hood who targetted the wrong ship with 5 salvoes (straddling Prinz Eugen with the 4th and 5th salvoes) before realising her error and having to "start all over again" with Bismarck, the other 3 ships involved in the battle of Denmark Strait all achieved roughly the same hit rate with their main armaments... with one of Bismarck's hits being the "million to one golden shot" on Hood.
HMS Hood achieved No hits (but had straddled PE before realising her targetting error, having to reacquire on Bismarck, and subsequent sinking).
Prince of Wales achieved 3 hits from 55 x 14" rounds fired. (5.5% hit rate) (All on Bismarck)
Bismarck achieved 5 hits from 93 x 15" rounds fired. (5.3% hit rate) (2 on Hood and 3 on PoW)
Prinz Eugen achieved 7 hits from 157 x 8" rounds fired. (4.5% hit rate) (3 on Hood and 4 on PoW)
When you take into account the multiple problems HMS PoW's green, inexperienced crew was having with her untested, troublesome main armament throughout the engagement, it makes her 1st place hit rate even more remarkable !!!
When filmed from hudreds of meters away, the sound would arrive a few seconds after the visible flash...
