EDITORS COMMENTS
Off the Coast of Scotland: A Humorous Misunderstanding during WWI In this whimsical and humorous illustration by William Heath Robinson, titled "The German Periscoper: Ach, Himmel! Dot most be der peautiful Ben Nevis of vich we have eard so mooch," we find a German submarine crew making an unexpected discovery while sailing through the North Sea during WWI. The prominent nose of a bather, visible above the water's surface, is mistaken for the tip of Ben Nevis, the famous Scottish mountain. The scene is set with a submarine periscope peeking out of the water, its operator, a German sailor, looking in awe at the supposed mountainous landscape. The sailor exclaims in disbelief, "Ach, Himmel! Dot most be der peautiful Ben Nevis of vich we have eard so mooch," expressing his admiration for the supposed scenic beauty. The cartoon, dated 1915, showcases the lighthearted and humorous side of the war, providing a brief respite from the harsh realities of the conflict. The use of exaggerated features and playful dialogue adds to the overall effect, making it a delightful and enduring piece of historical art. William Heath Robinson, a renowned British cartoonist, was known for his intricate and imaginative illustrations. This particular work, with its clever take on a common military misconception, remains a testament to his creativity and wit. The image is a reminder of the human capacity to find humor even in the most unusual circumstances.
