Why did he choose St Nazaire over Trondheim ?

Why does an electron chose to be in position x over position y?

Why did she choose him over that other guy?

On the topic, I actually took a whole course on WWII Naval Battles, and there is some very interesting analysis by a graduate student on the whole Bismark encounter, and the reasoning behind all the strategies. I'll try to find it online for you.

He ruled out the Denmark Straight because he wasn't sure of the deployment of the british forces apart from he knew Prince of Wales was somewhere up there as well as radar carrying cruisers...which he was very wary of.

France had land based air cover available, u boats and also had a dry dock big enough to repair Bismarck. The nights were also longer down south. Also since he envisenged only light repairs Bismarck would later have a much easier route to the atlantic trade routes she was to attack, and also could link up with Sharnhorst and Gneisenau

Is there anything you have actually not studied?

Haha, my college experience was quite an odyssey since I had to change my status multiple times to keep taking courses and eventually a degree. I had to go part time and spent the last four years of college being a PT student. I needed to take at least 9 credits a term (4 terms a year) to maintain my status, but 9 credits were never offered in the courses I needed to take. So I pretty much have a ludicrous amount of credits in everything.
