Sponty trip to Jersey

Now we’re on the southwest corner of Jersey island. We’re actually now closer to France than England! La Corbiere was the 1st concrete lighthouse in the world. It’s surrounded by WWII monuments (Tobruk Stands & a German Naval Tower) - particularly because the Channel Islands were the only part of British Isles ever to be occupied by Germans during WW2, and was the most heavily fortified part of Hitler’s ‘Atlantic Wall’. The shoreline of La Corbier was considered to be one of the most endangered bays in Jersey, so Hitler covered this zone by at least 2 Strongpoints (most heavily defended position in the German Infantry).

Luckily the sun came through and we got to see the beauty of this coastline!😍Leggi altro
