Although the illustration shows guns positioned all around the small island, in reality it was equipped with two 76 mm guns and eight machine guns. This battery was decommissioned in 1932, and today there is no trace of it left. #NavalHistory

The installation of the Saltholm battery sparked criticism in Denmark that it was an overreaction, and artist Alfred Schmidt published a satirical cartoon in the magazine Blæksprutten (Octopus). It is said that the face of the sun floating in the sky is modelled on the Min of War, Wilhelm Madsen.

Alfred Schmidt, ‘The Danish Workers’ and Soldiers’ Council’. An illustration published in *Blæksprutten* in 1917. The man in the centre of the photograph, with the large red moustache, is Frederik Borgberg, a member of the Social Democratic Party; standing next to him is M.C. Lindsay, a Boy Scout and trade union activist.

In reality, Japanese torpedo boats were only present in the waters off Japan, and this incident was entirely the result of Russian paranoia. Furthermore, 2 crew members of the cruiser Aurora were killed by friendly fire. As a result, Russia voluntarily paid the fishermen £ 66,000 in compensation.
Russian Outrage on the Hull fishing fleet on 22 October 1904, otherwise the 'Dogger Bank incident', the 'North Sea Incident', or the 'Incident of Hull'.

The image is taken in 1945 or 1946, when BW-384 "Noka" was one of the last Brewsters still flying. Note that the original "Noka" - BW-355 - had been lost to German anti-aircraft fire in late 1944.
