In his new video, RU-vid history presenter Zac Osborne travels to Alderney and explores a little known small fortification that was connected to Camp ‘Sylt’ - the infamous forced labour camp run by the ‘SS’.
As part of the camps expansion in March 1943, the ‘SS’ authority ordered the construction of five concrete sentry posts, or pillboxes, around the outer perimeter of the camp. Only two survive in their original location, with another one that is buried under ground and vegetation near the main gates of the camp.
Zac explains in his own charismatic way, what they were used for and where they were located in this short 7 minute film.
