EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany stands confidently on the deck of a U-boat, the deadly weapon of the German Navy during World War I. The year was 1916, and the First World War was in full swing. The use of submarines, or "undersea boats," as they were then called, had become a contentious issue in international relations. The German Navy's unrestricted submarine warfare policy, which allowed for the sinking of enemy merchant ships without warning, had led to the United States declaring war on Germany in April of that year. Despite the growing international tension and the looming threat of war, Kaiser Wilhelm II appeared unfazed as he inspected the U-boat, its men, and its deadly armament. The photograph captures a moment of defiance and determination, as the Kaiser sought to assert Germany's military might and resolve in the face of mounting opposition. The caption for this photograph, written in the German language, reads "Der Kaiser auf dem U-Boot" (The Kaiser on the U-boat). However, the English phrase "disavowal" has been incorrectly added to the title in some sources, likely due to a misunderstanding of the historical context. There is no evidence that Kaiser Wilhelm II ever issued a "disavowal" of Germany's submarine warfare policy during this period. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the historical significance of the U-boat in World War I and the complex political dynamics that shaped the conflict. It also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of historical artifacts and the importance of accurate historical record-keeping. The photograph is available for rights-managed use from Mary Evans Prints Online, providing researchers, educators, and other professionals with access to high-quality historical images for their projects and publications.
