EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the crew of a German U-boat submarine during the First World War, emerging from the confined quarters of their submerged vessel to peer out at the world above from the viewing platform. The towering periscope stands proudly in front of them, a symbol of their deadly prowess on the high seas. The year was 1914, and the Great War had plunged the world into chaos and destruction. The submarine warfare that ensued was a brutal and effective tactic used by both sides, but it was the Germans who became notorious for their ruthless U-boat campaign. This photograph, with its ominous title of "The Hideous Crew (!) of a German U-boat," is a clear example of the anti-German propaganda that was circulated during this time. The image of these submariners, with their unshaven faces and stern expressions, was intended to instill fear and loathing in the hearts of the Allied forces and their supporters. The crew members, bundled up against the cold and damp conditions of the North Sea, appear almost savage in their determination to carry out their mission. Their faces are etched with the strain and hardship of their claustrophobic existence beneath the waves. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of life aboard a U-boat during the First World War. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by the sailors on both sides of the conflict, and the devastating impact of war on the human spirit.
