WW2 German Underground Tunnels in Guernsey

This video shows the World War 2 German tunnels which can be found easily in Guernsey. They are as follows: Talbot Valley, Le Havelet - Val Des Terres, St. Saviours, German Underground Hospital, Aquarium, La Valette Museum. Guernsey was the most fortified place in the whole of the Atlantik Wall. During World War 2 the Channel Islands were occupied for five years by Adolf Hitler's German Nazi forces. In Guernsey there was 13,000 German troups at one point and thousands of Organisation Todt slave workers which mainly came from Poland. These slave workers were used to build hundreds of different German fortifications around Guernsey and had to live in terrible conditions and if they did not work they also did not get any food. To build the tunnels they had to dig out thousands of tons of solid granite and many died in the process. It's rumoured that their bodies were just thrown into the setting concrete. In 1944 twelve tunnels were under construction and two others were completed. Guernsey was liberated on the 9th May 1945 and Liberation Day is celebrated every year on the 9th May. This video will be one of many uploaded during 2010 to celebrate 65 years of the Liberation Day.
