Below: The next to last photograph of Bismarck, taken from Prinz Eugen before the German cruiser made her break from her big brother. Seen on 24 May, Bismarck apppears to be down by the bows due to flooding caused by a hit from Prince of Wales. A decisive penetration by one of the British battleship’s 14-inch shells, its crucial nature was not realised at the time, for it deprived Bismarck of fuel as well as slowing her down due to the ingress of water (USNHHC)
