The height from the waterline should be something around 32 meters depending on the ship's draft.

Bismarck Flak Crews
Hello,
Did Bismarck Flak crews wear steel helmets?
I believe they did during Rheinübung, but it seems it was not always the case, particularly during training in the Baltic.

Re: Looking for the Lindemann Book by Grützner
Hello,
This book used to be available in Ebay.de a few years ago.

Re: Identify indicator
"Schiffswellen" are the ship's shafts, port, center and starboard.
There are however 9 "lights" in that panel.

Re: Tirpitz bell fate
This is probably the last photo taken where Tirpitz's bell can be seen.
We know it survived the bombing on 3 April 1944, despite a near hit that demolished the hangar.
