EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a pivotal moment in the Spanish Civil War, as the Republican Government's submarine B.6 is seen on the surface off Corunna on September 10th, 1936. The image provides a rare glimpse of the submarine from the deck of the Nationalist cruiser Velasco, just before it was tragically sunk by its enemy.
This snapshot of history showcases the intense conflict and technological advancements of warfare during this tumultuous time. The B.6 symbolizes the determination and bravery of those fighting for their beliefs, while also serving as a reminder of the devastating consequences of war.
The stark contrast between the two opposing forces - Republican and Nationalist - is evident in this powerful image. The looming presence of the Velasco serves as a stark reminder of the constant threat faced by those aboard the B.6.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured in black and white, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by both sides during this brutal civil war. The sinking of submarine B.6 stands as a somber testament to the harsh realities faced by all involved in this conflict that forever altered Spain's history.
