:23:00
with your permission...
:23:01
I would like to address
the ship's company.
:23:04
As you wish, sir.
:23:05
Thank you.
:23:09
Officers and men of the Bismarck...
:23:12
this is the fleet commander.
:23:14
We are going out into the North Atlantic...
:23:17
to attack the British convoy system.
:23:19
We are going to sink their ships...
:23:22
until they no longer dare
to let them sail.
:23:23
It's true we are only two ships...
:23:27
but the world has never seen such ships.
:23:31
We are sailing in the largest...
:23:33
the most powerful battleship afloat...
:23:36
superior to anything
in the British navy.
:23:38
We are faster...
:23:40
we are unsinkable, and we are German!
:23:43
You cadet officers...
:23:45
you were selected by
the highest authority...
:23:47
to make this voyage.
:23:48
When you return to the fleet...
:23:51
you will have many
inspiring stories to tell...
:23:53
stories of German sea power...
:23:55
stories of Nazi victory!
:23:59
To all of you, I say this...
:24:02
Never forget that you are Germans...
:24:05
never forget that you are Nazis!
:24:09
Heil Hitler!
:24:11
Heil Hitler!
:24:16
In the center, the main plot.
:24:20
What's that?
:24:21
Another convoy, sir.
:24:22
Fine. Carry on.
:24:24
Now, sir...
:24:25
over here, we have the Hood
and the Prince of Wales.
:24:29
They left Scapa Flow 40 hours ago.
:24:32
Here we have the Repulse...
:24:33
the aircraft carrier Victorious...
:24:36
and the King George V.
:24:38
They've been steaming
for approximately 18 hours.
:24:41
In this area...
:24:43
the cruisers Arethusa,
Manchester, Birmingham.
:24:45
In the Denmark Strait...
:24:47
the cruisers Suffolk and Norfolk.
:24:50
As you can see, sir...
:24:52
our cruiser screen is
spread out much too thinly.
:24:55
Now, if your people
would get into the air...
:24:57
can't fly reconnaissance missions
in weather like this.
