The pride of the German Kriegsmarine, the battleship Bismark, breaks out from Norwegian waters into the open sea on the evening of May 21st,1941, accompanied by an escort fleet and a complement of Me109s from 3./JG77 and Me110s from ZG76.  It's voyage would be short lived, however.  After a shattering victory over Britain's famous HMS Hood, the Royal Navy hunted and eventually sunk the mighty battleship on May 27th, 1941.
