WW2 German Multi Loopholed Turret Bunker at Rocquaine Bay, Guernsey

This video shows inside and outside of a World War 2 German bunker which is at Rocquaine Bay, Guernsey in the Channel Islands. This is a Multi Loopholed Turret, type 632 bunker which had six loopholes in the turret and is the best surviving example of the four in Guernsey. They turrets are also known as kupola 20P7 panzerturm.




Guernsey was the most fortified place in the whole of the Atlantik Wall. During World War 2 the Channel Islands were occupied for five years by Adolf Hitler's German Nazi forces. They bought in thousands of Organisation Todt slave workers which were forced to build this and hundreds of other fortifications around Guernsey and live in terrible conditions.

Guernsey was liberated on the 9th May 1945 and Liberation Day is celebrated every year on the 9th May.

Steel scrap must have been worth a lot of money to go to all that trouble to cut off the turret! Must have used some money's worth of gas as well.
