In this Video series, I bring you the memoir “BATTLESHIP BISMARCK – A SURVIVOR’S STORY” written by German naval officer Burkard Baron von Müllenheim-Rechberg, who served in the German Navy from 1929 to 1945.
He is most well known for his service aboard the famed battleship Bismarck, the flagship of the Kriegsmarine during World War II.
Discover the gripping story of the legendary German battleship Bismarck through the eyes of its highest-ranking survivor. Join me in this journey as we delve into the pages of a remarkable book written by one of the very few who witnessed the ship’s dramatic history during its first and only mission.
The Bismarck, a symbol of German naval power during World War II, left an indelible mark on history. In this video series, we unravel the hidden narratives of courage, camaraderie, and resilience that unfolded amidst the chaos of war. Through personal reflections, the survivor’s tale offers a unique perspective on the ship’s battles, daring escapes, and the unbreakable bond between its crew members.
As we turn the pages of this remarkable book, we gain access to intimate details of life on board the Bismarck, the challenges faced during naval engagements, and the raw emotions that accompanied the ship’s demise. Prepare to be captivated by the survivor’s eloquent storytelling as he recounts his experiences from the heart of history’s most epic maritime conflict.

Most excellent timing again my friend, perfect way to end a day 😊
Light breakfast and another excellent chapter to an amazing story.
She was most definitely a beautiful ship and the picture of her and Prinz Eugen that you use is absolutely stunning❤. Thank you once again for all your hard work on each chapter of every story 😊
brilliant, i cant wait for the next part, very exciting
Thank you 🙏🙏 , I wonder why the 3rd Intelligence report was incorrect, you'd think it was the critical time to cancel if required! German Intelligence was quite poor a lot of the time.
Excellent. Thank you so much for doing this.
Maybe I missed it? I wonder why Bismark was not supported by any U-boats? Or was it? Thanks again TD!!
Hindsight being what it is,, so many clues were there for the discerning eye, sometimes you must slow down and think clearly! Bad fortune and negative consequences are giving clues! I remember so many instances when a different path chosen would mean going home or certain death 💀 thanks to the creator I am still here!! War is Hell 💥💥‼️
Don't believe I've ever heard of the weather angle in the discovery of Bismarck's location.Ahh,the pride before the fall. Also the "reconfirming" of the "assumption"from Intelligence made me laugh out loud 😂❤
Excellent as always! Outstanding job ! Looking forward to next session ⚓️⚓️
Another good one keep it up
I have had a interest in naval stories since i was a young boy. I made a " airfix " model of Bismarck when i was about 10 years old. My cousin who lived in Munster, had a model of her too. I felt really sad when i saw her wreck, and that of the Hood, when they were discovered. So many young men, seeing the seaboots lying on the seafloor.
The calm before the storm. Thanks for another chapter. Looking forward to the next one.
