A paragraph
When on the trip to Noirmont point the bunkers were what caught my eye immediately, they are big, dull and square the complete opposite to the nature of the headland, but yet they seemed to compliment each other well. This links to the idea of overtime people get used to one another and get along to me it symbolizes the end of the war and how eventually the Nazi’s were defeated and everyone at the time just got back on with their lives. They had to rebuild their homes, like nature, they had to deal with what they had left over from the war and carry on as if it was the same before the war. I want to capture in my zine, how nature had to grow around the Nazi fortification, which is similar to how the soldiers had to live on with their horrific war memories because they can never get rid of them. The majority of German fortification are on Jersey’s coastline which have some of the islands most scenic views, the fort and bunkers add a sense of historical background to these landscapes.
