∙ 13y agoAccording to German crewmen, they wouldn't allow the British to sink them in battle! They wouldn't give them the satisfaction! Dr. Ballard dove upon the wreck and discovered the German sailors might be right, the GERMAN'S SUNK THE BISMARCK! (Called scuttled in naval terms).
I hate being a pain but when you have two large battleships pouring broadsides of 1 ton shells and many of the ships services no longer function plus there were an awful lot of dead German sailors and wounded too all over the ship above and below decks and this tends to have a very negative effect on people. Also unlike the ship the crew did not have the luxury of several inches of high quality steel around them.
