The famous German battleship Bismarck was sunk 68 years ago today. Let's pick up the story with this mashup of vintage Kriegsmarine propaganda film and shots from the 1960 classic film "Sink The Bismarck!" all cut to the eponymous Johnny Horton hit.
Some of the model shots in the 1960 movie are pretty good. Others not so much now. Fifty years on, movie special effects are in a different universe. No CGI in those days. They did it all in front of the camera.
Excellent Bismarck history here at Wired.

- VOKL is my self-assigned nom-de-blog in the format of a Newfoundland radio call sign. It gives me a name for my voice. And when you say it out loud it's vocal. See? VOKL. This may also reveal a subconcious desire to punnish my readers. I hope you understand. Anyway it's my blog. Start your own blog.
