| Description |
English: Corbier, Jersey, Channel Islands, 23 June 2022. Following the German invasion and subsequent occupation of the Channel Islands in 1940, an extensive number of defensive bunkers was constructed by slave labour as part of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall to combat the expected Allied invasion of Europe but in the event the guns on the Channel Islands were never used and they were surrendered peacefully on 9 – 16 May 1945.
Battery Lotheringen was a formidable complex of gun, control, observation, magazine and personnel bunkers built at Noirmont Point. Pictured is Marine Pielstand 1 (MP1) built in 1943 as an observation/spotting tower for the four 15 cm naval guns in the battery. It had a 20 mm Oerlikon AA cannon mounted on the roof, the mounting for which still survives. Nine such towers were planned for Jersey but only three were completed by D-Day in June 1944. |
