  • @VeroxTrickz : To facilitate the rapid milking of Jersey cows !

  • Shadows

  • @VeroxTrickz the tunnels were dug out to be used as stores for munitions as they had to be imported in to the island.after D-Day HO8 was used as an underground hospital as the Jersey general hospital was full with German navel personel who was evacuated from France.

  • @VeroxTrickz Haha! First time I understood that there is somethng wrong with middle school geography course in USA is when a post officer in California tred to charge an international fare for a letter to New Mexico, thinking that it is in Mexico. Well, it is very good t know for american people that besides thir "New", there are also REAL Jersey, York, England, Orleans and other "old" places :)

  • @VeroxTrickz NEW Jersey is in the USA but, Jersey (which is what NEW Jersey is named after) is in the English channel about 17 miles from France. Jersey is part of the British Isles and together with its neighboring Channel Islands is the only part of Britain to be occupied by the German Forces during WWII

  • @VeroxTrickz Jersey is one of the Channel Islands, south of England. New Jersey is most likely named after it.

  • @VeroxTrickz I'm guessing you didn't know the channel Islands were occupied by the Germans during the second world war, in fact they only surrendered in Jersey on May the 9th 1945, a day after they surrendered elsewhere. During the war the Germans heavily fortified Jersey and Guernsey including building many underground shelters in case of attack by allied forces. The attack never came, even after D-Day the allied forces simply avoided getting close to the German big guns placed on the Islands.

  • wow imagin what would of been going on down there 70 od years ago

  • just to let everyone know,there has been cave ins in tunnel B.you can still walk from one entrance to the other but you cannot get to the concreted parts of the tunnel any more.

  • @TheStgmp44

    You can now!

  • where are these tunnels ? thanks

  • @TribeMix

    Tunnel A goes under Beaumont hill. This tunnel is in a dangerous state in many areas.

    Tunnel B is off St Peter's Valley up the road by The Vic in the Valley pub. This has unsafe areas in it.

    Tunnel C is above Grand Vaux reservoir This is locked up.

    If you find these tunnels be very careful, 1. They are privately owned. 2. They are not very safe!

  • @jethou1 below or above the road?

  • @fdsdh1 Below the road, a little further up the valley from the house, pretty overgrown the last time I was there, easy to miss. Be carefull, the first section looked very unstable!

  • i am from gib

  • Could you PM me the location of these tunnels? Looks very interesting! :)

    IKS

  • great place, thanks for the upload!:)

  • You should have picked up some of the good German helmets at the time and cleaned them up and sold them.

    Funny you have added a video of German tunnels and recently I have been editing a video of my own on Guernsey's WW2 German tunnels.

  • They were all too rusted, even the ones that looked in one piece just crumbled to bits if you didn't pick them up very carefully.

  • Wow ... 25 years has turned all those props to mush - not one piece of solid wood left there! Or any helmets for that matter. Nice pictures. Cheers.
