EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during World War II, showcasing the surrender of German forces in St Malo. The image depicts the Citadel, located at the far end of the port, which was originally targeted for an attack by Lightnings. However, just moments before the assault, a white flag emerged from the Citadel's walls. Consequently, RAF pilots swiftly redirected their mission towards a small island situated near the shore where remnants of German garrisons remained. Taken from atop St Malo church's shell-damaged steeple through its broken clock face, this photograph offers a unique perspective on history unfolding. It showcases both destruction and resilience as planes soar above amidst smoke-filled skies. Amidst this chaotic scene is an unexpected touch of humanity - an adorable dog serving as a mascot to one of the fighter squadrons can be seen accompanying his brave comrades on this pivotal mission. In August 1944, when this photo was taken by Official photographers capturing wartime events for historical documentation purposes rather than commercial use or company promotion; it encapsulates not only military action but also highlights how animals played their part in boosting morale among troops during challenging times. This remarkable snapshot serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice and victory achieved by Allied forces in their fight against tyranny during World War II.
