I know you were looking for Bismarck books, but if the "Anatomy" series interests you, I'd recommend going for anything by the three Johns (John Roberts, John McKay, and John Lambert) instead.
Thanks for the review on the Bismark Anatomy of the Ship.
I was thinking of getting that but the price seems a little steep. I'll have to take a look at your other suggestions.
