I cannot access certain items on eBay because of legal considerations I've seen this legality taken to what is IMHO ludicrous heights. In a model of the B-17 bomber 'Memphis Belle', the plane's turrets are supposed to have 'kill' marks of little swastikas for each Luftwaffe aircraft shot down. yet ...

Code: Select all
Somehow I don't think the Germans would be as enthusiastic about producing a film about Bismarck.

People are becoming more willing and interested in looking at that these days. For example, Das Boot was successful. True, but this was in the days when a movie's mass appeal depended on writing and acting, and not today's mishmash of explosions, stuff flying at the camera and ludicrous physics. (A...

The raising of a vessel sunk in action is certainly a sensitive issue. Just recently I watched a moving account of the raising of the Confederate States of America's submersible Hunley which sank with all hands. At the very least, the salvage had answered a few questions about the sinking. I realize...

I wanted to know how the expedition fared. All I found was this: http://www.deepoceanexpeditions.com/bismarck7.html IMHO this could use more detail. A lot, actually. Anybody know of a more detailed report? (Then again, after the Ballard expedition, this one shouldn't expect to find anything new . . .)

Wow! I'm blown away by the news! I hope they have a subtitled/dubbed version soon. The Japanese version of 'Das Boot'? I recall some Japanese-made war movies I saw when I was a teen. It was refreshing to view things from 'their' side, which is devoid of propaganda (Which is more than we can say abou...

I hope the producers don't use the same chestnuts Hollywood has for its cookie-cutter MTV-generation action movies: Wire stunts, explosions every thirty seconds, thunderclaps when a scene changes, dizzying camera work, 18-inch shells flying through the air in slow motion, bad-a** heroes calmly walki...

Were the davits removed, too?
Luis Gonzales states that during Rheinubung many of the Bismarck's small boats were removed (stowed?). My question is whether the davits and/or attachment points for these boats were also removed or did they remain in place?
