Sink the Bismarck! Page #5

---

glory for the Third Reich...

glory for us!

For you, sir.

You are the fleet commander.

I will see that you are not forgotten.

I was forgotten after the last war.

Until the fuehrer came to power...

I got no recognition, no promotion.

I was ignored...

just as Germany was ignored.

The world only remembers the winners,

Lindemann.

We must make sure this time...

that it will remember us.

I am sure it will.

How soon can you get under way?

I can have steam in half an hour, sir.

I want to be out of here

in 15 minutes.

Signal Prinz Eugen.

Very well, sir.

[Whistles]

[Yelling In German]

Sir, it's a signal from

the Commander-in-Chief,

Home Fleet.

An aircraft from Hatston's

got through to Grimstad.

There's nothing there now, sir.

Well, they've sailed.

At least we know that much.

Now we can get moving.

Position of all convoys, sir.

Thank you.

All we can do now is wait

and see what happens.

That's the worst part

of our job...the waiting.

You have a son

in the service, haven't you?

Yes, sir. He's at Gibraltar.

He's an air gunner in the Ark Royal.

I bet you're glad...

he won't be mixed up

in this Bismarck show.

Why should I be glad?

If you were, you wouldn't admit it,

would you?

He must take his chance

like everybody else.

I see.

There's an air vice marshal

coming in later...

to help out on reconnaissance.

Give him a briefing, will you?

You wanted to speak to the crew,

Captain?

They've been alerted.

Achtung!

Captain Lindemann...

with your permission...

I would like to address

the ship's company.

As you wish, sir.

Thank you.

Officers and men of the Bismarck...

this is the fleet commander.

We are going out into the North Atlantic...

to attack the British convoy system.

We are going to sink their ships...

until they no longer dare

to let them sail.

It's true we are only two ships...

but the world has never seen such ships.

We are sailing in the largest...

the most powerful battleship afloat...

superior to anything

in the British navy.

We are faster...

we are unsinkable, and we are German!

You cadet officers...

you were selected by

the highest authority...

to make this voyage.

When you return to the fleet...

you will have many

inspiring stories to tell...

stories of German sea power...

stories of Nazi victory!

To all of you, I say this...

Never forget that you are Germans...

never forget that you are Nazis!

Heil Hitler!

Heil Hitler!

In the center, the main plot.

What's that?

Another convoy, sir.

Fine. Carry on.

Now, sir...

over here, we have the Hood

and the Prince of Wales.

They left Scapa Flow 40 hours ago.

Here we have the Repulse...

the aircraft carrier Victorious...
