sink the Bismark

Got the opportunity to watch it yesterday and was a bit surprised by the picture given of Admiral Lutjens (ie the "always remember you are germans, always remember you are nazis"). Was he really like that - the few survivors of the sinking have told this story or is it "artistic license" ?

Also some swordfish planes are shot down in the movie and if I remember well what I've read, all planes went back untouched ? :hmm:

On the other hand you get to see a short glimpse of Erich Topp at the very beginning
