EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken on the day following the Zeebrugge Raid on 24 April 1918, provides a striking view of the damage inflicted upon the Zeebrugge Mole in Belgium during the First World War. The mole, a mile-long structure extending into the North Sea, served as a crucial base for the German navy, making it a prime target for the Allied forces. The image reveals the gaping hole at the landward end of the mole, where British Royal Navy destroyers, led by Commander Tyrwhitt, had rammed and exploded their ships against the structure during the daring raid. The viaduct, which connected the mole to the mainland, is visibly damaged, with debris and wreckage scattered around the area. The raid, which took place on the night of 22-23 April 1918, was a significant achievement for the Allied forces, as it disrupted the German U-boat operations and prevented the enemy from using the port as a base for their naval activities. The success of the operation came at a cost, however, with the loss of several British ships and lives. This photograph, taken from a German aerial reconnaissance plane, offers a unique perspective of the aftermath of the raid, revealing the extent of the damage inflicted upon the mole and the strategic importance of this location during the Great War. The image is a poignant reminder of the destructive power of war and the sacrifices made by the soldiers on both sides.
