A tour of the WWII Mirus Gun Battery
A tour of one of the four vast German underground bunkers that made up the largest gun battery in the Channel Islands, which was operated by the German Navy. This particular one is in its original condition and shows how much effort went into Hitler’s directive of October 1941: making Guernsey into an impregnable fortress. This tour is brought to life with contemporary photographs. Please bring a touch.
