Trivia--SINK THE BISMARCK!

Post by dragon53 »

TRIVIA---May 27, 2022 is the 81st anniversary of the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck after it sank the Royal Navy battlecruiser HMS Hood in World War II.
In the movie SINK THE BISMARCK!, Kenneth More played Capt. John Shepard, who is assigned to locate and sink the Bismarck. Shepard orders the aircraft carrier HMS Victorious to leave its original mission of escorting a convoy to the Middle East and join in the hunt for the Bismarck. In reality, More was an officer on the Victorious later in World War II.
