Underwater Drone Flown Towards Bismarck Wreck To Identify How It Sunk




In the cold North Atlantic, nearly five kilometers beneath the surface, lies the watery grave of the German battleship Bismarck. When she burst onto the world stage in May 1941, Bismarck embodied the Third Reich’s ambition to dominate the seas, and her brief but ferocious career culminated in one of the most dramatic naval chases in history. After sinking HMS Hood, the pride of the Royal Navy, she was relentlessly hunted by British forces and sent to the ocean floor after a two-day pursuit. For decades, the precise location of the wreck remained a mystery. Then there was the question of how such a heavily armored giant finally succumbed. Now, we have answers. An underwater drone mission to Bismarck’s wreck has finally given us the last piece of the puzzle. Let’s unveil the whole truth!


Was it sunk by the Allies or was it scuttled?
