The ship was handed over to the United States for further use as war booty after the German surrender in 1945. Afterward, the ship operated very differently from the American warships. So much so that it was always necessary to use a large number of German sailors. That was why the US Navy decided to put her on Operation Crossroads. Which was the Bikini Island nuclear test. She remained unsinkable in the face of two nuclear bombs. Despite this outcome, the US Navy still learned many valuable experiences from her designs.
For this build, I have chosen to depict Prinz Eugen as she was serving in the US Navy in 1945.
I used 1:350 Prinz Eugen and Bismarck(2020ver, second hand unfinished) from the Trumpeter Company. Due to the age of Eugen's production. So many details are missing and wrong. So the Bismarck kit can just make up for this shortcoming. This build also introduced a large number of etched pieces and brass gun barrels.
This re-release video. I optimize montage, text commentary, and music. So that it can have a better viewing experience. For the last almost three months. I have been under tremendous pressure. This has led to a recent decline in video quality. I sincerely hope viewers here will forgive me. In the meantime, I will ensure that all future videos are posted in high quality.

It's sad because this is the only German capital ship that survived the war. Rather than thinking ahead and saving it for the sake of history, we literally decided to just nuke it instead. It would have been so cool in an alternate history we could visit the Prinz Eugen to this day.

@MonimixModel 3 жыл бұрын

Prince Eugen's sunk place is very shallow. You can go see her now too. Just be prepared with some diving equipment and a dive guide. Also, sometimes I was thinking. Did we really won World War II. Look at so much suffering in Eastern Europe, Asia, North Africa after the war...These sufferings have not ended until today. These sufferings spread throughout the world as people indulged in the paralysis brought about by the so-called victory.

So much so that it was always necessary to use a large number of German sailors. That was why the US Navy decided to put her on Operation Crossroads. Which was the Bikini Island nuclear test.

I used infini model rigging. The flags are two Z flags. This allusion comes from the Z flags flown by the IJN Mikasa battleship in the Tsushima Sea Battle. It means that the rise or fall of the empire will be this battle. At the time I posted this video you know what it means. Sadly, the United States lost the battle.
