The forgotten Nazi camp built on British soil | 60 Minutes

There is a clear anti-British tone in the reporting, and a good deal of history ignorance to boot.

Jewish law doesn't say that. They've been reentering tombs as a regular practice for thousands of years to collect bones to place in ossuaries or sarcophagi.

You say things as if its the British fault. They were invaded and occupied by the nazis. This was nothing to do with britain or its allies.

Everyone wants the British public to apologise to them for everything these days. The United Kingdom was fighting a War, you would not be here now if they hadn’t. Learn your true History with facts and reasons, decisions had to be made. Stop Blaming the United Kingdom,England especially for everything for your own pathetic pay package and glory.

Not British fault here cause they literally lost that island to the Germans. This is like blaming the Polish for Auschwitz. The British don't have a beautiful history, I should know being Indian. But this is some unnecessary slander

Also, in regard to newspapers during the Occupation: The Germans had their own, the Inselzeitung, which is shown in the segment. They also strictly controlled and censored all of the Islanders' publications, which is why German info appeared in them on a regular basis.

The Germans kept great records…even of their crimes. Of course, they didn’t necessarily think of them as crimes.

60 minutes it was worth it once...but no more.

Looks like a good setting for an episode of "Foyle's War" if Michael Kitchen is up for it.

As a resident of Alderney, one can assure the reader that contrary to the alleged "experts," this program depicts, there is a large amount of fiction, fantasy, and unsubstantiated heresay mixed in with the facts that were presented. Locals, besides being somewhat intrigued by this latest program and the Jewish revival, would prefer the subject be dropped

Anyone really familiar with WW2 history wouldn't be surprised one bit by this

Lots of references here to the 'Briddish'. Do they come from 'Briddain'?

I find the reporter's accusatory tone highly offensive. Looking back through history requires the humility of realizing we weren't there, and should not judge. The British government and Channel Islands officials all faced difficult, even agonizing decisions all throughout the war. This subject should be handled with dignity and respect. I hope any updates are assigned to a reporter who understands this. Dr. Gilly Carr, and the Islanders interviewed, gave it the gravitas it deserves.

This area was so tiny.... the UK was busy re-building the country that had been bombed to pieces.

At the end of the war, the British government was presiding over a ruined and bankrupt country. They had a monumental task to set about recovering, converting the economy and industry back to peacetime usefulness, rebuilding bombed cities and providing for the demobilised military personnel. At the same time, they were involved in administering parts of Germany, dealing with refugees and supporting empire possessions abandoned by the retreating Japanese in the car east. Against that background, it is hardly surprising that little attention was given to possible German atrocities against forced labourers and European POW's in the Channel Islands. It would have seemed barely a drop compared to the millions murdered in Europe.

Went over to Alderney on a pre dig info gathering mission. There's a lot of info from the locals to be had. My professor at uni has dedicated her entire life to the concentration camp history. Alderney is still the most beautiful place I've ever been.

I thought this was a new story. Not a surprise to anyone with a basic knowledge of WW2 Reporter needs to calm the tone down a bit too, it isn't an Omaze advert

To be clear, there are several documentaries produced a while ago -some available here on YouTube - about Lager Sylt and the other Alderney camps, plus quite a bit of literature. The Wikipedia page about the camps was added in 2009. The breathless and dramatic tone by the reporter in this piece, like CBS News has unmasked something unknown, is more hype than substantial and disappointing for a show that is traditionally sober and journalistic. This weird style does a bit of disservice to the interview subjects and the academics and advocates having worked on this issue for decades.

The surrender of the channel islands was arguably the correct strategy, distracting and diluting German forces onto assets they over-valued. Malta was of far greater importance, was strongly fought over and never fell into German hands.

The niece is 10 times smarter than the reporter. Such is the state of MSM “journalism” today.
