The launch of the Bismark took place in Hamburg on February 14, 1939, in the presence of Hitler, Raeder, Keitel, Göring, Goebbels, Hess, Ribbentrop, Himmler, Bormann and von Schirach, to underline the importance attached to the event.

Ernst Lindemann was placed under his command, and sea trials began in the Baltic Sea. In March 1941, he carried out firing tests at Gotenhafen and finally began team training with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen.

The commander of the OKM (Oberkommando der Marine), Admiral Raeder, decided to use the Bismarck to protect surface ships from interference by British battleships, and of course to attack merchant ships supplying Britain. So, in early April, the team was ordered to head for the Atlantic, where they would rendezvous with the Gneisenau to engage merchant traffic bound for Britain. This was what the British Admiralty had long feared. The operation, called Operation Rheinübung, presented an extremely high potential danger to merchant traffic, which was the artery from which Britain, isolated from Europe, was supplied. Admiral Günther Lütjens was placed in charge of the naval group.
