EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Liberation of Europe. In the early hours of June 15th, 1944, a courageous Beaufighter strike wing from R. A. F. Coastal Command launched an audacious attack on a significant enemy convoy near Schiermonnikoog, one of the Frisian Islands. Amongst the vessels targeted was an M-class Minesweeper. The intensity and chaos of this assault are frozen in time within this image. The minesweeper is depicted under heavy cannon fire, with one valiant Beaufighter closing in to deliver its devastating blow. Just moments after this photograph was taken, the vessel succumbed to its fate and erupted into flames before sinking beneath the waves. This picture serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by Allied forces during World War II. It showcases both the precision and sheer force unleashed upon German shipping as part of their relentless efforts to liberate Europe from tyranny.
