EDITORS COMMENTS
The Channel Islands - Caves Exterior: A Glimpse into Jersey's Occupied History This evocative photograph captures the exterior of the Hohlgangsanlage, or 'subterranean passages,' located on the beautiful yet enigmatic Channel Islands. Specifically, this image showcases the rocky landscape of Jersey, with its rugged cliffs and the mysterious entrance to one of the many tunnels constructed within the island during the German Occupation. Dating back to approximately 1900, this photograph offers a striking contrast to the historical events that would unfold on Jersey's shores just over four decades later. During the German occupation of Jersey, which lasted from 1940 to 1945, these bunkers were meticulously crafted by the occupying forces to protect their troops and equipment from aerial bombing. They also served as formidable fortifications in their own right. The Hohlgangsanlage, a series of interconnected tunnels, were part of a larger network of defensive structures built by the Germans throughout the Channel Islands. These structures were designed to withstand the relentless bombing campaigns that were a common feature of World War II. The exterior of the caves, as depicted in this photograph, offers a mere glimpse into the extensive labyrinth of tunnels that lay beneath the surface. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to ponder the complex history of the Channel Islands and the profound impact of the German occupation on their landscape and people.
