EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment when the German submarine U-155 (Deutschland), one of four surrendered U-boats moored in the River Thames at London's Tower Bridge at the end of the First World War, flies the White Ensign. The U-boats, which had terrorized Allied shipping during the war, were surrendered to the Royal Navy in November 1918, following Germany's defeat. The sight of these formidable vessels, now under British control, marked a significant turning point in the conflict. The image, titled "German Submarine U-155 (Deutschland) at Tower Bridge, London," is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of this moment in World War I. The U-155, named after the German battleship Deutschland, was the largest of the surrendered submarines and was the flagship of Vice Admiral Diedrichs, the commander of the surrendered U-boats. The White Ensign, the flag of the British Royal Navy, was hoisted on the U-155 as a symbol of its new allegiance. This photograph, taken in 1918, is a testament to the end of the war and the beginning of a new era. The image is part of the rich historical record of the First World War and is a valuable addition to any collection of World War I memorabilia.
