EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the haunting image of MP2 Direction Finding Tower, La Corbiere, Jersey, taken by Charles E Brown of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in May 1945. The tower, a remnant of the German occupation during World War II, stands proudly against the rugged Jersey coastline, its concrete structure weathered by the relentless Atlantic waves. During the five long years of German occupation, the Channel Islands were the only British soil to be under enemy control. The islands, including Jersey, were fortified with a network of bunkers, pillboxes, and towers to protect against Allied invasion. MP2, a crucial component of this defensive system, was a direction finding tower used to detect and locate enemy aircraft and naval vessels. The tower's ominous presence serves as a poignant reminder of the dark chapter in Jersey's history. The island, located just 14 miles from the French coast, was an essential strategic point for the Germans during the war. The occupation brought hardship, fear, and loss to the island's residents, who endured rationing, forced labor, and the ever-present threat of invasion. The liberation of Jersey on May 9, 1945, brought relief and joy to the island's population. The arrival of Allied forces marked the end of the occupation and the beginning of the long road to recovery. The towers, bunkers, and pillboxes that once symbolized fear now stand as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Jersey people. Charles E Brown's photograph captures the essence of this complex history, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the sacrifices made during the war. The MP2 tower, a symbol of both fear and hope, stands as a powerful reminder of Jersey's wartime past.
