Description
Josing Fjord, Norway. 1945-04-14. A U-boat, naval auxiliary, small merchantman and a depot ship were all hit by Beaufighter aircraft of RAF Coastal Command during an attack on German shipping in Josing Fjord, in which Australian and New Zealand squadrons took part. Two of the Beaufighters, which have actually penetrated the narrow entrance to the Fjord, skimmed the side of the cliff to carry out their low level attack. One of the Beaufighters is within a stone's throw of a shore battery. The enemy vessels in the foreground are shrouded in smoke; smoke is also billowing from the merchantman at the other end of the Fjord.
