Historian explores ‘Adolf Island’

[pipedreams]

Interesting, never heard of this island.

"Caroline Sturdy Colls believes the number of deaths on the British island of Alderney during World War II is almost double to what was previously thought due to hidden unmarked graves.

The professor, who specializes in the forensic investigation of Nazi crime scenes, chronicled her investigation in a new documentary for the Smithsonian Channel titled “Adolf Island,” which aims to examine the horrific events."

 

"Colls said the island, located between France and Britain, became too difficult and expensive to defend, causing the population to be evacuated. Consequently, the Germans occupied the island within a matter of days. Adolf Hitler specifically took an interest in Alderney, viewing it as a fortress that could be used to own a piece of England. She said it was also part of his plan to invade mainland Britain."
