AboutIn September 1941 Britain detained German civilians working in Iran which angered Hitler, who immediately retaliated by issuing an order demanding that British-born citizens living in the Channel Islands be detained. By the end of 1942, over 2000 Islanders had been transported to Germany with over 600 being taken to Bad Wurzach. On 28 April 1945 those interned at Bad Wurzach were freed by French troops. Over the years many visits by surviving internees have taken place, and even student exchange programmes, leading to the formal ‘twinning’ in 2002 as a sign of reconciliation.CONTACT[email protected]
