Pretty submarine picture

Was just screwing around in Photoshop and did this, thought it looked pretty cool, it's a composite of a well-known WW1 shot and a modern day photo of some lightning.

Here is the original pic, a German Navy WW1 propaganda shot as far as I'm aware:

Is that Helgoland in the background? :hmm:

Could be, but to be honest, I don't know much about the picture.

Should be, because it seems the "Lange Anna" can be seen to the left.

Others have tried "it" too, but not just with photoshop lightnings...

...During World War II the islanders remained on the main island. The first bomb dropped on German soil during the war landed here on 3 December 1939 by mistake from a British bomber.[citation needed] There was also a large allied air raid on the island on 15 October 1944, destroying many of the buildings of the Unterland. Then, on 18 April, 1945, over a thousand Allied bombers attacked the islands, leaving nothing standing. The civil population was protected in rock shelters; most of the 128 people killed being anti-aircraft crews. The islands were evacuated the following night.

From 1945 to 1952 the uninhabited islands were used as a bombing range. On 18 April 1947, the Royal Navy detonated 6,800 tonnes of explosives in a concerted attempt to destroy the island ("Big Bang" or "British Bang"), creating the biggest non-nuclear single explosion in history.[1] While aiming at the fortifications, the island's total destruction would have been accepted. The blow shook the main island several miles down to its base, changing its shape (the Mittelland was created). The attempted destruction of Heligoland ranks as "the largest single conventional explosive detonation" in the Guinness Book of Records.
