tl;dr; Nazi Germany built a battleship that they wanted to use to harass Allied shipping in the Atlantic. It gets glazed by Wehraboos (militaria fans of Nazi equipment) because it sank one of the Royal Navy’s capital ships. Subsequently, the Bismarck was hunted down and sunk because the Royal Navy hates it when their ships are sunk. Nazi Germany would not be able to contest the ocean with its surface fleet for the rest of the war.
