Wow, that is a real action shot huh?!?!

It certainly is, at first I thought it was a staged photo but if you look in the background you can see what looks like two more vessels on fire. I then checked on the internet LCG M101 and LCG M102 were both sunk on 1st Nov 44 by a coastal battery at Westkappell Walcheren Island.
