After much negotiations Festung Guernsey were fortunate enough to obtain permission to excavate the personnel shelter at Wn.Garen (L`ancresse Golf Course) and on the 8th May 2012 we set off to carry out a night dig in this sensitive area of the island.

Dispite the poor weather conditions we managed to gain entry within an hour and began our decent into the shelter, for a selection of photographs please follow this link:- http://www.steve-powell.co.uk/Festung/W ... index.html

Enjoy.....

I would be very interested if anyone can help identify this text which was found above the crew room door. It appears to be a newspaper cutting and only the title remains.

I think it reads:
"Dem Führer beschworen - "
Something like "Confirmed by oat to the Führer -"
