Lager Borkum

Lager Borkum

Lager Borkum was one of the four Nazi labour camps on Alderney in the Channel islands. It was near the centre of the island, at Platte Saline, and was the smallest of the four; Helgoland and Borkum camps, were volunteer Labour Camps and the labourers there, were of course, treated better than the other two, although often harshly. It was used for German technicians and volunteers from different countries of Europe.

A number of former German soldiers of the 216th Naval Flak Battalion were tried for war crimes by the Dachau International Military Tribunal from 6 February -21 March 1946 ("US v Kurt Goebell et al"). They were charged with the unlawful execution of seven US Army Air Force personnel who had survived the crash of their damaged B17 on the island on 4 August 1944. Defendants included
