The Last Heroes of Humanity - Schlachtschiff "Bismarck"

 The Last Heroes of Humanity

Schlachtschiff "Bismarck"

Waging the last war, defending Honor and Dignity, Loyalty and Freedom, representatives of Homo Sapiens fought on land, in the air and at sea. One of the last Heroes to accomplish the Feat was the crew of the Schlachtschiff “Bismarck”. Perfect and solitary, he entered into an unequal battle. Into a battle in which there was no chance of victory. A battle that resulted in inevitable death.

The ship and crew were led into the last battle by Kapitän zur See Ernst Lindemann. Before the decisive battle on May 27, 1941, he had a choice - to fight to the last and preserve the Honor and Dignity of the Kriegsmarine personnel and die or surrender and lose Loyalty. There were no options, because being the standard of Honor, Loyalty and Dignity, the captain and crew chose to die rather than surrender. More than 2000 people simultaneously made a difficult and desperate decision - to die, but to become Heroes.

Before the last battle, the commander of the military squadron released the second ship - Schwere Kreuzer "Prinz Eugen". There was no point in endangering the lives of another 1,500 people by letting them continue to fight for the sake of Freedom and Honor. "Prinz Eugen" received the last mail from the crew of "Bismarck" and set off. The flagship, left alone, was ready to take on its last battle.

Without accepting the offer of surrender, without surrendering the ship to the enemies, Ernst Lindemann entered into battle with a fleet several times larger than his own. The result was tragic - after the destruction of all deck superstructures, the ship lost the ability to resist. However, even this did not break the military spirit of the crew. Not wanting to surrender the ship, the last decision was made - to open the seams and sink the already practically dead Bismarck.

The ship never surrendered, died, and sank to the bottom with its crew. Just over 100 crew members survived. Captain Ernst Lindemann remained on board until the last, and died, as befits a Hero. Today, lying at a depth of almost 5000 meters, "Bismarck" is a symbol of Loyalty, Honor, Dignity and Fortitude.
