The forgotten Nazi camp built on British soil | 60 Minutes

A piece of Holocaust history - a Nazi concentration camp built on Alderney, a British island - has been largely forgotten. Researchers are now counting the island’s dead.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

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.

[@andreaandrea6716]

The anti British angle is so obvious. This is so skewed. I have talked to a few people who were on the Islands at the time. This type of documentary is so misleading. I suggest anyone interested in the occupation period study some wonderful books available. This was a full German occupation. The UK had no say in the matter of life on the islands under German occupation. Britain could not start arresting traitors as they would be sentenced to death, and they would say well you left us. Obviously if Britain had fought for the islands at that time it would have been nothing but death for the islanders. There is no cover up but for the secret especially that Britain was doing.

I completely agree. The Channel Islands was outside British control. I know there was some shame over the local police cooperating with the SS over the roundup of the handful of Jewish inhabitants and if I remember correctly 3 are known to have ended up dying in death camps but this has always been known about. If it is not discussed much it is down to embarrassment and not secrecy.

To be clear, there are several documentaries produced a while ago -some available here on KZbin - 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.

Sorry, but Dr. Jilly Carr seems to be the wrong person coordinating the review. Her responses in the documentary lacked empathy and statements like "according to Jewish law you cannot disturb the dead", "What are we going to do? Did up the entire island?" shows lack of intent in putting in the effort needed to get down to the truth. No Jew will say NO you cannot disturb the dead when at the moment you are trying to ascertain death of ten thousands. Ten thousands as opposed to only hundreds is a huge number. Do whatever is needed to get down to the bottom of this and find a different person to coordinate this effort.

Spoiler Alert: If its on british soil, then its a british camp

[@michaelevans205]

Soo. Clickbait title intended to give an anti-British slant. The islands were under German control. Oh, and there's a difference between a concentration camp and an extermination camp.

[@gerrylewis5281]

I served f my country for 20 years. I’m proud to say that. But my studies of conflict trough out the ages taught me that ‘ concentration camps ‘ were started by the British in India. Or were my teachers lying to me ?

[@malipena9751]

Hitler got the idea from the Andersonville camp in America, during the Civil War ending in 1864. The photographs of those captives found are on par with Dachau, etc.

thankfully our indian pm has cut the time until british people becoming an ethnic minority in britain by at least 5 years, should be around 2040 now

They may have had their first use in India, but they became a big world-wide news deal during the Boer Wars. It was the first time Europeans had been imprisoned under horrendous conditions by other Europeans. Lack of supplies and insufficient medical care lead to the deaths of a large number of women and children.

[@bdcochran01]

Earlier. British concentration camps in the Boer War. "Concentration" and deadly "work camps" have exited throughout history. The Terra Cotta soldiers in the PRC were carved by prisoners kept for years.

[@nlwilson4892]

@@shelbynamels7948 Well the British cut the rations of wives and children of Boer leaders to half and starved them to death. It wasn't just about lack of supplies, it was a deliberate act.

[@user-sh1qm3ux8g]

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.

[@valentina47734]

We can all judge now but what would we do in such circumstances? Who would resist and who would print the papers with their bs propaganda just to stay alive? Let's not forget how a mistake from one person could have jeopardised everyone in his family. But this evil should be in the open for us to see and all the details need to be available. That's the dirty part.

[@stevetaylor8298]

The media should stop using the name "Nazis" when the words German or Axis are the correct terms. Nazis is just the name of a political party. In this case the narrator should have said, 'The Germans were meticulous record keepers'. What happened in WWII and who did it should not be forgotten or obscured.

[@Jordan-rb28]

After thinking about it, I'm a little embarrassed for 60 Minutes, as this reporting does come off as ignorant and high-and-mighty, as if the entire world didn't have massive problems to deal with immediately after the war. Not to mention that most of the most heinous things from this war were not widely known about until 5, 10, or 20+ years after. Almost the entirety of Europe had to rebuild. We've seen NOTHING like it since then on anywhere near the same scale since, which seems to have led to this ignorance among some people over time.

Did SOE have active agents on the CIs?

These "journalist" are surprised by basic ww 2 history that they should have known already. Maybe less transgender and womens studies and more history classes.

[@Lea-Oh.007]

Research The Anglo-Boer War and what the British did in South Africa!

[@thomasvanschie3778]

The big point with war criminals was that. if they where killd during the war it was exeptet by there wife and childeren and country. If they wher kiled after the war it was not exeptet. The children would have been a kind of lost boys. And there where to many of them in germany. And for this people ther was always a fear that they could been arested and shoot by ther victims. And if the war criminals were shot there would probely not a good investication. For the coverup. Germany a land of war criminals. Is not the image Germany wanted.

Time Team did a Show about the Islands. and interview islanders about same.

[@user-tm9jd6pj6x]

reporter is ignorant of WWII history and the end of the war

[@johncollins6437]

I wish everyone knew what these people went through it should be a law to learn about it

[@erikguth4830]

Sure sounds like they worked together doesn’t it. Let me ask about support for the islands. Were ships and planes permitted to safely access the islands for ongoing supplies. As you know an island has to have everything brought to it. Would have been the same for Henry Fords Germany support convoys? Or perhaps the Chevrolet convoys of trucks and equipments? Perhaps, just perhaps General Patton wanted to explain what he had been told and discovered. After all America & allies fought 6 divisions of Germans while Russia fought 25 divisions. Why was there an American consulate in Bavaria safely tucked away while we were told of wars appetite for victory?

[@plantboy6249]

This was very incoherent, "were ships allowed into the islands", are you asking me a question or? Yeah they did, it was the red cross not military personnel. A non-Government body. There was no collaboration between the British Government and the Germans.
