Books & Reading, page-149

It is wholly unimaginable that today any school would even mention Sink the Bismarck, let alone show the movie. And even if it did, there’d have to be letters to parents, advance warnings, and then counselling for the distress caused afterwards. No doubt it would have to be sandwiched between marathon viewings of Adolescence.
All we did back then in 1969 was cheer. It was incredibly exciting, but the terrible and tragic sight of HMS Hood being atomized and lost with all hands bar three when it was hit in its magazines by Bismarck will stay with me forever.
