Alderney W 1 StP 'Türkenburg', Victorian Magazine

Alderney a small island off the coast of the Cherbourg Peninsular one of the Channel Islands and a Crown dependency. 3miles x 1.5miles. In June 1940 its entire population was removed and sent to either the other Channel islands or to Britain (most ended up in Glasgow). Then the German occupation forces arrived on the 2nd July. Hitler thinking that the British would attempt at recapturing, ordered it to become a Festung and later combined into the Atlantikwall.

Magazine. The floors would have been a suspended wooden floor in the powder room, the men working there would arrive at the door, remove their cloths and change into woolen cloths with no metal buttons but just ties. Shoes removed and soft shoes worn. So there was no possibility of anything causing a spark. The other important item were matches, cigarettes and pipes removed. To stop them having a quick smoke.
