30 Dec Sink the Bismark
This is London, Ed Murrow reporting. This island, which is no stranger to bad tiding, received news today that HMS Hood, largest warship in the British fleet and pride of the British navy, has been sunk by the German battleship Bismarck. From the Hood’s compliment of 1500 men, there were three survivors.
Sink the Bismark, WWII Movie starring Kenneth More
(1960) This British movie is based on the sinking of Germany’s prized battleship in 1941.
After the Bismark sank the Royal Navy’s HMS Hood, Churchill pretty much ordered, “Sink the Bismark …” or else!
It was interesting to watch both sides plan their strategies.
And I loved seeing Edward R. Murrow recreate his radio broadcasts from London.
