Time Team T18-E04 Fortaleza de la isla de Hitler (Les Gellettes, Jersey)
Tony Robinson no suele decidir dónde debe excavar el equipo, pero en este episodio elige su primer sitio para investigar: una batería antiaérea alemana construida durante la ocupación nazi de Jersey durante cinco años. Los arqueólogos nunca antes habían investigado algo así y deben aplicar todas sus habilidades para dar sentido a un sitio ahora reclamado por un bosque. Pronto queda claro que los emplazamientos de armas son parte de un complejo fortificado mucho más grande que fue el hogar de cientos de soldados alemanes equipados con una amplia gama de armas. Y, a diferencia de los sitios más antiguos, el Equipo puede hablar con personas que fueron testigos de la vida bajo la ocupación de primera mano. Lo que emerge es la impactante historia de una isla fortaleza donde las instalaciones alemanas fueron construidas por mano de obra esclava y la población local comenzó a pasar hambre mientras continuaba la guerra. De condiciones terribles que parecen más apropiadas para las eras que el Equipo suele investigar, en lugar de hace solo 70 años. Durante tres días, Time Team descubre una visión fascinante y, a menudo, aterradora de la vida durante la guerra.

Fabulous to know Tony really is interested in thé archeology and History, and isn't just 'presenting' thé series
Phil digging a telephone system makes me smile.
4.27. ja Tony if Adolf and his merry men would have invaded germany and stayed there, you would most probably comment this episode in german…
It's nice to see they have a site that's nice and shady, instead of the usual field under the blazing sun. With cooperation from the weather, they seem to have enjoyed it.
I think after 20 years Tony is more than an amateur. Four minutes in and I'm still hoping to see Mick…. ?????
As a teenager I spent my summer holiday in 1961 with my mother staying with my grandmother on Jersey. We often walked to see the various sites used by the occupying Germans during the war, in particular the undrrground hospital. It was a chilling experience.

I have found the various Time Team episodes to be particularly interesting and am very glad to be able to watch their patient and knowledgeable archaelogy. Thank you for making it so enjoyable. JackyvPowell

I'm watching this on Feb. 25, 2022. Putin just invaded Ukraine. Another megalomaniac, another war. Watching the Nazis on Jersey is chillingly familiar.
The dramatic identification of the occupation and naming the German Army's fortifications as Hitler' s this and Hitler's that is a very British touch in his narration.
43:08 That's literally what she said.
@27:44 My GUESS for the metal cone is that it is used to fill sandbags
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
PHIL HARDING !

IDK Phil. I wouldn't want to look in a 60 year old "slit-trench"…
That tin is very damaged, but it looks for all the world like the seal around a stove pipe as it goes through a wood and shingle roof.
We have a 1943 Mk 1X 40mm anti-aircraft gun at our Legion. It's tiny compared to these!
Bettany Hughes has given the best definition I've ever heard of monsters like Hitler and all the other invaders, who sometimes pass for heroes: "You have one megalomaniac individual and everyone else falling in line behind him to take over someone else's territories". It's terrifying to think that humankind falls prey to this kind of people over and over again.
Stewart in full military strategy moode
2:15 exactly how I and my class acted during our field trips when we were at school.
The funnel thing in the fighting hole is
some scrap metal that Private board in his hole was sitting on
The sand table that Stewart constructed reminded me of the episode of "Dad's Army" where they constructed a sand table of the town for a TEWT, training exercise without troops.
I’d love to see Bettany Hughes tell the story of the lady that ran Sark during the war.
I'VE NOTICED THAT BRITS ARE SCARED TO DEATH OF GUNS OR ANYTHING THAT GOES BOOM.
42:10 Tea and chocolates for those murders?!? Ridiculous! ??
It's a pity they did not leave the big guns so history students could be given tours of the installation and see what the guns looked like in position.
Grainy video but still worth a watch.

Military Historian Mark Felton has an excellent channel, with many videos such as this one, covering Jersey's WWII German fortifications:

Lots more there than just what's buried in the ground! =^[.]^=
I got cut off. Did they ever figure out the siren? The thin piece of cone shaped metal.
"So generous given the situation" Well, the islanders probably realized what most people keep trying to point out alot with armies, the low soldiers and even most of the high ranking military people were simply following orders that they most likely didn't like but had no choice, it was either follow orders or be thrown in a deep dark prison somewhere at best and straight out killed on the spot at worst and being humans they didn't like seeing the soldiers etc. going hungry. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they probably wouldn't have shared with Hitler or any of the Nazi leadership if they were there starving.
Phil: Is it going to go bang?
Asking all the important questions. I really like Phil!
16:58 not contrails! Other angles yes. Lol
Want more? Read 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrow about the occupation of Guernsey during WW2.
the german that keeps on popping up confuses me XD my brain cant switch between languages that quickly
What is is with Britts and everything dripping with something lmao
The novel "SS-GB" by Len Deighton is a fine piece of alternative history of mainland Britain under German occupation.
I hope there's a monument somewhere on the island for the Russian and Eastern European forced laborers who died.
Der lächerlich aussehende Anton Hofreiter Verschnitt kann noch so dämlich grinsen, Deutschland ist in Sachen Erfindungsgeist und Ideenreichtum was den Bau von Kriegsgerät und Bunkeranlagen betrifft lange Zeit unschlagbar gewesen ?!
And what about radar/searchlight emplacements? I suspect Trench 6 was a Radar because of it´s flat location, as opposed to hills banning it´s ´sight´ otherwise. Radars can´t see over hills, well they could not. Now they can, some types.
“This was built to last”. So it’s stereotypical German engineering?
What happened to the Anti-aircraft guns? Who took them and when?
Were these islands named after cows,
or were cows named after these islands?
Great archaeologists they may be , but not weapon experts. The Americans made information films for aircrews regarding anti aircraft fire. A rule of thumb , it took an 88mm shell one second to gain a thousand feet height. Therefore an aircraft flying at 20,000 ft and in a case of a jet airliner would have travelled over three miles from the time the shell was fired. I think the passengers were safe.
I wouldn't have minded exploring Gilly Carr's " trench", lol
An archeologist is Matt!
17:56 this is not a razor but a small bakelite Container wich held:"Losantin" a skin detoxment powder issued to all troops in case of poison gas exposure.this item is dropped almost first by the troops because it was issued in such high numbers.it usually has the production date on bottom .
great doc if you like things old please see my channel and sub if poss plz its a disabled guy please read his info young struggling lad
The fabricated War Merit Cross II class w/swords is not necessarily a "jest" award. It was probably earned by one of the German soldiers and with orders for it coming through in such a place where no official awards were available, it was fabricated until the recipient could receive the official version. I have German- fabricated pieces (two Iron Crosses and one wound badge) representing official earned awards from 3 different European wars which were found among the veteran's personal items when they returned from war. Even field created award documents were created to accompany the make-shift awards.
Airliners would not cruise at 20,000ft. They cruise over 30,000ft. Other than that great series.
?? they blow up a spent shell .??
