At 10:50pm on May 26, 1941, a 1,700-ton Polish destroyer spotted the most powerful battleship in the world through the darkness of a North Atlantic gale: Bismarck. A warship that outweighed her 30-to-1.
Bismarck's 15-inch guns had already wrecked the mighty HMS Hood. A single direct hit would certainly obliterate the tiny Piorun.
Commander Eugeniusz Pławski could shadow the enemy and wait for reinforcements. That was the smart choice. The safe choice.
But his crew begged him for the alternative. Poland had been carved up by Germany and the Soviet Union. Their families were living under Nazi occupation. And now, the ship that had just killed over a thousand British sailors was right in front of them.
Pławski opened a radio channel; he wanted to make something very clear to the massive battleship:
"I am a Pole."
Now Bismarck would know why the tiny destroyer charged straight at them.
