The fascinating archive of a World War Two seaman who helped sink the Bismarck has come to light - to reveal an unlikely friendship he formed with one of the few German survivors.
Lieutenant Aubrey Hollick served on HMS Dorsetshire which took part in the infamous destruction of the feared German battleship on May 27, 1941.
He wrote a letter home to his mum four days later which included his sketch of the huge ship’s final moments and the caption ‘Bismarck on fire before we torpedoed her’.
