Sample Book Insights: #1 The launch of the battleship Bismarck was celebrated by the German people, but Hitler made it clear that Germany would not be spending more resources on its fleet than necessary. #2 Hitler did not want war with the British, and he knew that building a fleet to rival the Royal Navy would provoke them. He told the admirals that he was the boss. The British Naval Attaché thought that Hitler was a disciple of Bismarck, and that he wanted to leave the navy in a half-developed state. #3 Hitler was very interested in military technology, but he could not find a single word to say about Bismarck’s masterpiece of naval construction and weapon technology. He was not moved to comment.
