La Reddition de la Flotte Allemande; entrée dans les bassins de l'arsenal de Cherbourg, le 10 décembre 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Surrender of the German Fleet; Entry into the Docks of Cherbourg Arsenal, December 10, 1918) is a historic photograph that captures a significant moment in the aftermath of the First World War. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph depicts a group of French and German sailors on the deck of a German submarine as it enters the docks of the Cherbourg arsenal in France. The French flag flies proudly above the German ensign, symbolizing the surrender of the German fleet following the end of the war. The image captures the moment of peace and victory, as well as the spirit of cooperation and transition between the two nations. The photograph was taken in Cherbourg, a coastal city located in the Manche department in Lower Normandy, France. The image shows various naval ships and warships anchored in the background, adding to the sense of activity and transportation on the water. The sailors, dressed in their uniforms, are seen working together to transfer the German submarine into the French dockyard. The image is a testament to the end of naval warfare during World War I and the beginning of the postwar era. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the historical significance of the event and the role of naval warfare during the First World War. It also highlights the importance of cooperation and peace in the aftermath of conflict. The image is a valuable historical document and a testament to the rich maritime heritage of France and Germany.
