- Work historyThe following statement appears at the end of the film: 'This film was based upon actual operations against the German battleship "Bismarck". Grateful acknowledgment is made to the Admiralty for their most generous help, advice and co-operation. The character called Captain Shephard is completely fictitous and is in no way intended to depict Captain R.A.B. Edwards (now Admiral Sir Ralph Edwards, K.C.B., C.B.E.) who was the actual Director of Operations at the time of the "Bismarck" engagement.'
