EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Lieutenant-Commander Gunther Prien, one of the most accomplished German U-boat commanders during the early years of World War II. Born in 1908, Prien earned his place in history as the first U-boat commander to be awarded the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross. Under his command, the submarine U-47 sank over 30 Allied ships, making it one of the most successful U-boats of the war. The image shows Prien in his naval uniform, exuding confidence and determination. His accomplishments were significant, particularly his most famous exploit - the sinking of the British battleship HMS Royal Oak at anchor in the Home Fleet's anchorage in Scapa Flow on October 14, 1939. This daring attack was a major blow to the British Navy and marked the beginning of the U-boat war in the Atlantic. The date of the photograph is not specified, but it captures the essence of a man who would go down in history as a naval ace. Prien's legacy continues to be celebrated in military circles, and his name remains synonymous with the U-boat war in the Atlantic during World War II. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and skill of the German U-boat force and the impact they had on the course of the war.
