In light of the recent ongoing enquiry into how many forced workers died in Alderney during the German Occupation of the island, RU-vid’s Zac Osborne has put together a little video on SS Commandant Maximillian List who was in charge of Sylt Camp from March 1943 until March 1944. The video also shows where he had a chalet built next to the camp, and what is left of it today.
Sylt was one of four main camps on Alderney that were built by the Organisation Todt for forced workers of various nationalities who were bought over to construct the huge number of concrete fortifications required by the German Authorities.
The workers in Sylt were mainly Russian and Ukrainain and made up ‘Baubrigade 1’ - a labour force bought over from Concentration Camps in Germany to carry out back-breaking work in very harsh conditions.
The video also follows what happened to LIst after he left Sylt Camp in March 1944.
