What if before encountering the Hood and Prince of Wales, the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen had encountered the USS Texas on patrol in the Denmark Strait. I had read that by the spring of 1941 the US Navy was patrolling the Denmark Strait and the Texas had almost encountered the Prinz Eugen just after she had detached from the Bismarck.
What if she had encountered the Bismarck? Would the Bismarck have engaged the Texas or try to avoid her. What would happen if she attacked the Texas, and if she did what would end result be, and what the ramifications be between Germany and the United States? Would it mean the US would enter the war during the summer of '41? Anyone have any thoughts.
