Illustration showing a group of German 'frogmen' being captured by British soldiers, near Nijmegen, Holland, 28th September 1944. These 'frogmen' were assault troops who swam down the Waal River with explosives to try to blow up the bridges at Nijmegen. Having placed the charges, they began their escape but were spotted by British troops and captured. As can be seen in the picture, the Germans were equipped with oxygen tanks, wetsuits and flippers.
