Batterie Scharnhorst is an old German WW2 gun battery of 4 x 15cm German Kanone 18 field guns, built during Germany's occupation of Guernsey in the Channel Islands.
Festung Guernsey have now been working on excavating and restoring nearly half of this batterie site. It was mostly covered over soon after the end of the war. We have restored the "Schwabenland" emplacement to it's original condition and are currently busy excavating all the connecting trenches, ammunition and personnel bunkers.
