Guernsey Bunker Archives

The Atlantic Wall stretched from the northern tip of Norway, all the way to the south of France, with the Channel Islands sitting as the crown jewel of the wall. Some estimates put the percentage of concrete used on the Atlantic Wall in the Channel Islands as high as 15%. And yet no invasion came. The islands were peacefully liberated on the 9th of May 1945. Landscapes were left scared with concrete monoliths, winding trench lines and gun emplacements. Many positions were demolished, or buried. Some were left to become overgrown, some were built on in the name of progress. Each of these positions has a story, and it is important to make a database of the structures, which isavailable to the public easily.
