I don’t know if that particular detail was a propaganda centerpiece. Mostly people just celebrated that the Bismarck was sunk.
It was a real monster of a ship, with it’s final engagements being back to back (for it, essentially one long engagement with a chase in the middle) from the 24th to the 27th of May 1941. The final engagement was 1 aircraft carrier, 2 battleships, 2 heavy cruisers, and 8 destroyers against the Bismarck. The British really, really did not like the idea of it existing.
