KMS Prinz Eugen , The Battle of Denmark Strait

created in Artrage 5

The German cruiser Prinz Eugen and the Bismarck encounter the Prince of Wales and Hood. The battle lasted little more than 20 minutes, in which time the Battlecruiser Hood was very quickly sunk. Although the accepted view is that it was the Bismarck who sank the Hood, I have come across some claims that it was actually the Prinz Eugen who delivered the fatal hit, but perhaps the truth will never be known
