Invasion at Sennen

Today its surfers and tourists, but in 1940 the Nazis had their maps and photographs ready for an invasion on the Land's End peninsula. Hitler knew the importance of the cable stations at Sennen and Porthcurno that connected Britain to her Empire. This video looks at the wartime defences built around Sennen and sees what remains of them today.
Are you able to add any more detail to what's known about the wartime defences of Sennen? Did any of your relatives serve there? Do you have any wartime photographs of Sennen's defences or their personnel? If so, please leave a comment.

Thanks for your kind words. Especially from a local. I'm glad the Old Map Company is still going. I still have your old map of Cornwall that I was bought many years ago!
