Ciao Kalli and Ulrich,
Danke schon for your informations.
Now I know morw about Claus Bergen and Ernst Wobek.
It should be very interesting to know from which sources they got their painture information, but I think it will be impossible now.
Claus Bergen shows Bismarck behind Prinz Eugen on her port side while firing at Hood - PoW during teh DS engagement, well before Hood exploded so between 05.55 and 06.00 as a battle timetable.
Ernst Wobek shows Bismarck exactly while executing the starboard turning point to course 270 degrees west ( started at 06.03 ), while Prinz Eugen is still sailing on course 220 degrees before the turn to starboard started at 06.04 and PG Rheinubung film shows us what happened after.
Here the DS battle time selection is unique as it was 06.03 and 30 seconds more or less.
Now the other info on painture we have is from Schmitz-Westerholt which shows Bismarck at 06.00 behind Prinz Eugen at 06.00 but on her starboard side.
Now PoW battle map shows some Bismarck movements course on the back of Prinz Eugen between 05.55 and 06.00.
It can be that both Claus Bergen as well as Schmitz-Westerholt are correct, but in any case my personal trust goes more to Schmitz-Westerholt than C. Bergen, because Schmitz-Westerholt was there and saw everything with his eyes, while Bergen was not.
In my opinion Wobek inputs could only come from a Prinz Eugen survivor, as that was a very crucial moment on that battle when Prinz Eugen was really exposed to enemy fire of PoW and in a very dangerous position.
So a Prinz Eugen glorious moment to remember forever and Wobek painted it very precisely.
Gruss Antonio
