Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Adolf Island’ offers new forensic, archaeological and spatial perspectives on the Nazi forced and slave labour programme that was initiated on the Channel Island of Alderney during its occupation in the Second World War. Drawing on extensive archival research and the results of the first in-field investigations of the ‘crime scenes’ since 1945, the book identifies and characterises the network of concentration and labour camps, fortifications, burial sites and other material traces connected to the occupation, providing new insights into the identities and experiences of the men and women who lived, worked and died within this landscape. Moving beyond previous studies focused on military aspects of occupation, the book argues that Alderney was intrinsically linked to wider systems of Nazi forced and slave labour.

Not illustrated. 1851 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter V. the ancient religion.--introduction of christianity.--the reformation.--the history of St. ann'S church. The knowledge of God possessed by the earliest inhabitants of Alderney we can scarcely estimate, having so few traces of its existence until the middle of the sixth century. There is no ancient history of this island beyond that which is written on the Celtic remains found beneath its soil. Some have supposed that the Phoenicians, in coasting the Channel before the use of the compass, had discovered Alderney, and made it a resting-place or harbour; but of their idolatries no vestige has been found. The Celts who inhabited the northern part of Gaul most probably first settled here; and their religion, derived from corrupted traditions of the East, consisted in the worship of the true God, as revealed by their priests the Druids--some of whose altars may still be seen on the north-west side of Alderney.--(See Chapter iv.) The Celts, as we know, were the sons of Gomer, grandson of Noah, who, after the dispersion of mankind by the confusion of tongues, F gradually spread westward through the countries of Poland, Hungary, Germany, and France or Gaul, bearing with them the knowledge of their Creator, a vague hope of immortality, and the promise of acceptance with God by a sacrifice--truths which became obscured by everincreasing superstition, ever more and more debased by the cruelties of druidical rites, and by the depravity of human nature left to itself. What terrible mysteries belonged to that religion, we cannot now declare: the sacrifice of human life upon these altars

Download or read book Alderney at War written by Brian Bonnard and published by . This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 23 June 1940, one week before the German invaders arrived and with just a few hours notice, the island of Alderney was evacuated of all but a handful of its 1,450 inhabitants. During its occupation Alderney became an island fortress and slave labour camp. "Alderney at War" offers the fullest account ever published of events on the island during the war, as well as an examination of the circumstances leading up to the evacuation and the subsequent fate of the refugees. Bonnard draws on both German and British official records and on the fascinating eye-witness accounts of former Russian, French and islander prisoners, as well as personal diaries and photographs taken by members of the occupying forces. "Alderney at War" is a factual record of this remarkable episode in British history, which is sure to enthrall residents and visitors to the Channel Islands, but its comprehensive coverage of those grim years guarantees it a place alongside any Second World War History.

Book excerpt: Alderney, a small island in the English Channel, lies only 9 miles from the Normandy coast. It was formerly linked to the Duchy when the Dukedom of Normandy was listed among the titles of the English Sovereign. After the Duchy was lost by King John in 1304, Alderney was raided for over three centuries by the French, who considered it to be a part of France. From the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century, a Militia of able-bodied men over the age of 16 was retained permanently to defend the island, and enhanced by garrisons of English troops at times of war. From Elizabethan times to the beginning of the twentieth century, Alderney's economy was based chiefly on building fortresses, smuggling and, up to 1830, legitimately preying on French, Spanish and American shipping under the Letters of Marque issued by the Crown. In Victorian times a huge harbor and impressive chain of forts was built by the English Government. During the Second World War, the Germans occupied Alderney and greatly added to the defenses, this time against possible invasion from England. Ships and Soldiers explores the fascinating history of this remote and highly contested outpost since the days of the Norman Conquest. Richly illustrated with over 220 pictures, it demonstrates why, although measuring only 3 miles squared, Alderney has always been a vital English domain.
