Geophysical surveys revealed ground disturbance in both of these areas. 'Sixty five of them might well have been buried in unmarked graves discovered in the 1960s but that leaves at least around 285 bodies unaccounted for and brings the total death toll on Alderney to more than 700. The numbers of deaths on Alderney has always been a problem, lack of records, names not tallying with known graves, witness statements (German and inmate) telling of bodies disposed of into the sea, off the cliffs or buried where they fell. Initial drilling for the France Alderney Britain Link, an undersea cable, has taken place in Alderney, but progress has stalled Alderney's top politician James Dent said he didn't want to comment on the truth, or otherwise, of the military authors' claims. A 137-mile project will connect British and French energy grids via the Channel Islands, but the route may bisect mass burials on the one-time concentration camp island .
Channel electricity link sparks Alderney war grave fears Only Nazi concentration camp on British soil may be protected Guernsey Holocaust 'impact' curriculum being created Alderney was almost completely evacuated before the occupation in 1940 'She went on: 'My research has also demonstrated how Sylt connected to the Nazi concentration camp system in Europe and shown that it was certainly part of it.As Holocaust expert Professor Caroline Sturdy Colls was unable to carry out forensic excavations on Alderney, she had to use so-called 'non-invasive' methods to investigate unmarked graves remain on the island.She says she has used the same techniques at numerous genocide sites across Europe, leading to the successful identification of graves.The methods included using 'airborne LiDAR' – a remote sensing technology - which measures the height of a ground surface and other landscape features using laser pulses. That's a shame because it's not telling the story of the people who suffered on that island. 'Two further areas of probable unmarked graves outside the cemetery have been identified in aerial photographs and my survey data. 'However, Sylt was a sub-camp of Neuengamme in Germany and it was run by the Nazi SS Death's Head Unit. These are external links and will open in a new windowClaims made by two military authors in a national newspaper concerning the Nazi occupation of Alderney have been contested by an island historian.Writing in the Daily Mail, Col Richard Kemp and John Weigold claim an underground site near the main town of St Anne was being prepared to launch a chemical weapons attack on England's south coast.
'For the first time in 70 years it has been possible to prove that there are unmarked mass graves and individual burial sites on Alderney that have never been documented,' she says in the programme. They don't want this story to be told. There are 397 graves in Alderney, which when added to the men who died in ships, takes the total to over 700 out of a total inmate population of 6,000 who lost their lives before the camps were closed and the remaining inmates transferred to France in 1944. 'Of course, to 100% confirm the presence of human remains on the island, forensic archaeological excavations would need to take place,' Prof Sturdy Colls told the Mail. Get set to lose MORE freedom: Professor Chris Whitty suggests Britons will have to sacrifice meeting...Could YOUR town be hit by the next local lockdown? In addition, a much smaller number of unmarked graves there were documented by officials.Many of those murdered at Sylt suffered appalling deaths: some were beaten to death by 'extremely brutal' guards, others were shot, while there were also cases where prisoners died of malnutrition.Details of Prof Sturdy Colls' findings will be revealed in a major TV documentary called 'Adolf Island', which will be screened on the Smithsonian Channel in the UK on Tuesday (June 18).
'We have got this forensic evidence about something terrible that happened on British soil, and now we have to find out if these non-invasive findings are correct so we don't get this toing and froing between people who want to downplay it and those who want to sensationalise it.'
