In the foreground, the explosion crater "Mittelland" on the island of Helgoland. In April 1947, the British wanted to blow up all military installations. It was the largest non-nuclear detonation to date, with 6,700 tons of explosives. Only in the area of today's Mittelland did the island not withstand this violent act, and the local part of the Oberland was blown up. In 1952, the island was returned to Germany and resettled. In the background is the South Harbor, and in the center of the image, the Halunder Jet (high-speed catamaran) can be seen.
