The observation bunker
At Egypt farm in the Parish of Trinity region of Jersey in the United Kingdom stands a lonely two story observation post designated by the German Army as M5. The M stands for Mefistelle and means range finding position. The north side of Jersey cliffs sore high above the coastline instead of beaches so an invasion force was not expected at these coasts. Small observations posts, with or without gun support, were spread out over the north side of the isle.
Although the high cliffs didn’t prevent Commando raids at these coasts, like the Operation Hard Tack landing just below the M5 observation post.
Visit
You can park your car near the walkways from the south side or from the north side at La Pulente, it doesn’t matter much. It will always be a fun walk with a great view. Bring a torch so you can find your way in the dark bunkers.
