Summary
| Description |
English:
During the German Occupation (1940 - 1945), after the evacuation of Alderney, the Nazis transported thousands of workers of many nations to the island to build military fortifications. This plaque records the sites of the principal camps where these workers were held.
The workers originated from many countries but were treated with great cruelty and brutality. Approximately 400 graves have been identified in Alderney. The full number, however, of those who perished either on the island or in camps on the European mainland subsequent to leaving Alderney is unknown. They are remembered at the Hammond Memorial at Saye. Norderney - Helgoland - Borkum - Sylt |
