Occupation bunkers to feature in TV series
A NEW TV series featuring Guernsey’s bunkers is set to air this autumn.
Secret Nazi Bases will look at the remnants of Nazi schemes, that are hidden across the world and examines the conspiracies surrounding them.
Among the sites looked at are a number of local fortifications.
VisitGuernsey, along with Festung Guernsey, the Guernsey Armouries and the Guernsey Military Co, worked with the documentary producers when the crew were on-island in November 2018 and May 2019, providing access to a range of bunkers and defences. While some of the areas featured are open to the public, others are privately owned.
Filming locations included some of Guernsey’s iconic bunkers, such as MP4 and MP3 observations towers at Pleinmont, as well as the largest bunker complex in the Channel Islands – the German Military Underground Hospital in St Andrew’s. Fully restored bunkers such as the German Naval Signals HQ in St Peter Port, Batterie Scharnhorst, Batterie Mirus and Batterie Dolmen, amongst others, were also featured.
Go Button Media produced the documentary.
Executive producer Daniel Oron said when they started researching subjects for their series, Guernsey came up quite quickly.
‘The imagery was so striking and the stories of the Occupation and fortification so compelling we knew we had to include it in our first season of Secret Nazi Bases,’ he said.
‘When we arrived in November 2018, the island exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for more from the locations and stories. We now know there is so much more than we could cover in a single dedicated episode of the series. The island’s heritage is so rich and that’s just considering the Occupation. We can’t wait to come back and film more in the future.’
The Guernsey episode is set to air at 8pm on 8 November on Yesterday (UKTV).

Exclusive: Science Channel searches for “Secret Nazi Ruins”
Discovery-owned Science Channel has set an early September debut for the investigative docuseries Secret Nazi Ruins from Toronto’s Go Button Media.
The series will seek to dig up mysteries from some of the most covert of Adolf Hitler’s World War II projects, as experts dissect and reveal the purpose and technical design behind each shadowy structure – from tunnels to towers, artillery sites, resistance nests and communication centers.
Among the various sites examined throughout Secret Nazi Ruins are the recently excavated Maisy Batteries, a large group of artillery batteries constructed by the Nazis; Dag Bromberg, a Polish base hidden in a forest; Bergkristal, a bunker and network of tunnels in the heart of Austria with mysterious levels of radiation; a peculiar mansion on a remote beach in the Canary Islands; and Kraftwerk Nord West in northern France, one of the largest Nazi bunkers ever constructed.
Go Button’s Daniel Oron and Natasha Ryan are executive producers alongside Science Channel’s Neil Laird.
Secret Nazi Ruins premieres Sept. 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Science Channel.
