German Jews steal bismark
Is it possible that German Jews would be able to steal Bismark/ sink her at her home port.

Not very likely--base security, armed sentries aboard, together with national registration of jewish people within the Reich and police surveillance.

They stood and Earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned these defended;
And saved the sum of things for pay.

They would be wearing German military uniforms and the speak fluent German. SIG worked under the British during WW2 to great effect. Failing to steal her could they sink her or damage her so badly that she would not be able to put to sea.

Wasn't Günther Lütjens partly Jewish?

Dunno if so Hitler would never let him be on his newest weapon.

Re: German Jews steal bismark
Luetjens' wife I believe was part jewish (Mischling), and there were a number of officers and other ranks in the Kriegsmarine that were also part jewish, such as Admiral Bernhard Rogge and Paul Ascher (of Luetjens' staff). Stealing the Bismarck though would have been exceptionally difficult--sabotage, not so much, but still hard to do without the proper papers, identification, orders, and such.

Re: German Jews steal bismark
First of all, if they stole a "Bismark", then they would probably be commandeering a dummy ship or, at best, a mock-up. No one would care.
Now, if they attempted to steal Bismarck, that would be an interesting story!
Not that it would have ever succeeded....

German Jews did not formulate any organised active opposition to the Third Reich. Also stealing a battleship requires sailors. So the answer to the question has to be no.

But this was only a small group, certainly not capable of stealing a battleship.tameraire01 wrote: SIG worked under the British during WW2 to great effect. .

Absoloutly correct, to steal a ship like Bismarck one would need hundreds of sailors, fully qualified in all aspects of running a ship, it just could not happen.
Re: German Jews steal bismark
Thinking more about it, a Jewish commanding officer could, as per Red October (the captain there was a closet Lithuanian nationalist) take Bismarck out to sea for trials and sail it to Scapa Flow..... but it would still be far fetched.paul.mercer wrote:

And even then such a Jewish captain still requires the obedience of the officers and crew under his command. With a submarine it is far easier given the closed nature of the vessel to keep crew and officers in the dark about a defection, Bismarck is a surface ship and crew can more easily see what is happening.....and of course Bismarck is far more externally visible than a submerged submarine.

Entering a night sea battle is an awesome business.The enveloping darkness, hiding the enemy's.. seems a living thing, malignant and oppressive.Swishing water at the bow and stern mark an inexorable advance toward an unknown destiny.
