German Bismarck Battleship 1941 1/200 Trumpeter

The Bismarck battleship is a world-famous German battleship from World War II. With a full-load displacement of 50,000 tons, it was the largest battleship in the world at that time. During the Denmark Strait sea battle, the Bismarck swooped in less than ten minutes after the sinking of HMS Hood Battlecruisers. But Swordfish torpedo bombers launched torpedoes and hit, causing the Bismarck’s rudder to jam and lose control of the normal navigation. The next morning Bismarck was surrounded by the British fleet in a 2-hour continuous onslaught and it finally sank in the Atlantic Ocean.
