EDITORS COMMENTS
German U-boat U1060, captured in a moment of vulnerability, lies grounded in the Norwegian Sea southwest of Bronnoysund. This haunting image captures the aftermath of a fierce battle during World War II's Battle of the Atlantic. On October 27th, 1944, Firefly aircraft from 1771 Squadron FA and Barracuda aircraft from 828 and 841 Squadrons FA launched a relentless assault on this formidable submarine. The once-mighty U1060 now rests helplessly on the northern tip of Skerry Fleina in the Vegafjord. Its hull bears visible scars inflicted by strafing bullets, rockets, and depth charges unleashed by Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Implacable. The sheer power and determination displayed by these brave pilots are evident as they successfully disabled this enemy vessel. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime. It symbolizes not only victory over an adversary but also highlights the perils faced by naval forces engaged in combat at sea. The desolate surroundings further emphasize the isolation experienced by those who served aboard this ill-fated U-boat. Preserved through time, this print offers us a glimpse into history—an artifact that tells stories untold. As we reflect upon its significance today, let us honor all those who fought valiantly to secure peace for future generations.
