Hi,
If any of you guys are looking to come over to Jersey in the Channel Islands you may well be in for a surprise. The Islands were Occupied by the German armed forces for 5 years. And as such there are bunkers and tunnels all over the place. I am sure you would find something of interest as well as the prosect of looking along the beaches and cliff paths for the odd souvenir.
There are a few museums on the Island as well as a number of bunkers which are opened to the public at certain times of the year.
To give a flavour of whats here have a look at www.festungjerseymilitaria.com , its a small website I have put some of my collection on as well as a few other bits and pieces.
Damien.

Thank you for this information and link to your splendid website Damien.
I surely would love to visit your wonderful island, if it wouldn´t be so expensive
for me coming from Germany.
Kind regards,
Beate
