Bismarck - Pride of the Kriegsmarine by Ivan Berryman. (C)

Together with her sister, Tirpitz, the Bismarck was Germany's most modern and formidable warship of WWII. Equipped with the very latest in rangefinder technology and festooned with defensive firepower, perhaps her most daunting weapons were the eight 15 inch guns, arranged in four turrets, that were to prove so effective against almost every other ship that she encountered, the most famous of these arguably being the Royal Navy's HMS Hood, sunk with huge loss of life in the Battle of the Denmark Strait in May 1941. Bismarck is depicted here in company with Prinz Eugen.

Supplied with the original signatures of : Unteroffizier Heinrich Kuhnt (deceased), Maschinenobergefreiter Otto Peters (deceased) and Matrosengefreiter Willi Treinies (deceased).
