MEMORIAL HAMMOND

Built by a family from Alderney to commemorate the deported workers from all over Europe, this very flowery monument commemorates in 6 different languages the tragic death of the prisoners subjected to forced labor during the Second World War. These thousands of prisoners had to build an impressive number of bunkers, bastions and anti-tank walls. Only 40% of what was planned was completed. Longis Bay, the only beach in the northeast that is easily accessible, is bordered by a 500-meter defensive wall that the Germans had built.
