Historian and teacher Cole Horton has posted an interesting
article about the uncanny comparisons between the Confederacy of Independent Systems flagship
Malevolence and Nazi Germany's
Bismarck. Horton shows how in both cases a seemingly invincible enemy flagship was destroyed by long-range bombers.
I'd be curious if Lucas and Filoni based this Clone Wars arc on World War II history or the 1960 film
Sink the Bismarck! based on those events. The movie cottons some historical inaccuracies, but probably nothing that would have been translated into the show.
