Source: Astrologer’s Companion [original AA database]. Wiki article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_battleship_Bismarck gives a location of 48N10, 16W12 and says ‘Bismarck disappeared beneath the surface at 10:40’, but doesn’t give a time zone. If it was the time in Brest, it would have been BDST (2 hours ahead of GMT). [Chris Mitchell]
