Shuttle service for shipwrecked persons from the Laconia between U156 (foreground) and U507 (background) as they redistribute the rescued men between them on the 15th September 1942.

I can't remember where I found that picture in the first place but they said something different. Your idea seems to be the correct one though. Would that mean that the wake is from an airborne torpedo? Sorry about the mistake.
