Historical DVD

Not excactly what I was expecting,but was not disappointed either.This DVD shows great archival footage of the German heavy ships from WW2.I was expecting a little more on the Bismarck,but considering he ( Capt.Lindemann described his ship as a "he")had such a short career not really unexpected.The other heavy ships,Scharnhorst/Gnesineau and the pocket battleships/heavy cruisers are well reresented and this DVD is a great addition to my or any collection.
