11. The Battle of Hood and Bismarck

IMDb rating: 7.3

We will begin our list of best history documentaries on Hulu with a documentary that will let you get more familiar with what is thought to be the greatest naval battle in World War II. Called the Battle of the Denmark Strait, it was a battle between the Prince of Wales and Hood, which were part of the British Royal Navy, and Bismarck, which was part of the German Kriegsmarine. The battle ended with Hood being sunk, but what is thought to be a tactical victory for Nazi Germany ended being an operational victory for Great Britain, since Bismarck was damaged enough for it not to be functional in the way the Nazis wanted. The documentary uses archival footage, interviews, and computer reconstruction in order to tell the story of the battle.
