One of the E-boats wearing a white flag at the coastal forces base HMS BEEHIVE, Felixstowe. The two German E-Boats, the first surface craft to surrender, were escorted in by ten British MTBs. On board one of the E-Boats was Rear Admiral Karl Bruning, who had been in charge of E-Boat operations and who signed the instrument of surrender. Note what appears to be a black panther painted on the side of the E-Boat, the word Long is painted above it.
