Hallo Tommy, I was just wondering about the conning tower. It was never mentioned in the article. It's Antonio's article and I think he should answer. In the meantime here are his sources regarding the hits: Ref. a) AIR 14/415. RAF Report Z/201 “Sunderland” Flying Lieutenant R.J. Vaughn. b) Midshipm...

There is also Antonio´s article in which is stated that Bismarck did hit the Hood in the conning tower killing 200 sailors. :think: Two shells hit the Hood. A shell from the Bismarck hit the fire control tower killing most of the people in the tower. This left the Hood without central fire control....

Yes, they did.
There are only two drawings. They are based on drawings by "Gröner" and "Herner-Beyer". The only picture is the one on the book cover.

Hallo zusammen, I finally found the link: http://forum.schlachtschiff.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1414 ...unfortunately it's in German. 109 wrote: TP hatte eine Rumpflänge von 250,52 m, sie war praktisch gleich lang wie BS (250,50 m). Die Angabe von 253,6 m beinhaltet den Ausfall des Flaggenstocks am Hec...

Hallo zusammen, lately I've read a similar discussion, but unfortunately I don't find the link anymore. If I remember correctly, according to Mr. Gally's plans (based on offical plans) Bismarck's length is 250,5m and Tirpitz's 250,52m. The conclusion of the discussion was, that it's very likely that...

Hallo Antonio, unfortunately the AJ-Press drawing is not very accurate. 1,55 m is to low in my opinion. The most accurate picture is the D-turret picture. http://www.kbismarck.org/photos/PG-turretD.jpg I calculated the height of the upper front edge and got the result of 1,59m as I mentioned before....

Hallo Antonio, once again, thank you for the additional material, it's very helpfull! I would like to ask you for two additional pictures (if you have them at all), please: 1.: a (high resolution?) front view of Prinz Eugen's turrets. 2.: the NH 69722 picture from the Busch book without markings or ...

Hallo Antonio, I already calculated the height of the vertical side based on the D-turret picture yesterday evening. The result was 1,59 m +/- 1 cm. I checked it two times. My problem is, that I really don't know wether the edge of the front turret plate is in line with the edge of the vertical side...

Hallo Antonio, Thank you for providing me the material. OK, let's start: take a look at http://www.kbismarck.org/photos/PG-turrets.jpg The distance between the centers of the barrels is 2,16m. Have a look at the top view: There are 84 pixel distance between the barrels. Have a look at the side view:...
