This is an actual photograph taken during Johnnie Walker's most successful mission of the war in February 1944. Here the shallow pattern of depth charges brought the group's sixth U-boat to the surface.
Below you can see HMS Kite launching depth charges - one is still hovering in the air before it falls below the waves. Image Courtesy of Imperial War Museum |
