The observation bunker
At Egypt farm in the Parish of Trinity region of Jersy 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. Smal observations posts, with or without gun support was 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
Parking the car here can be a bit of a challenge, just park it safely nearby and enjoy the walk over the walkways. The M5 Observation Bunker is closed to public. You can combine it with a nice stroll towards the Operation Hard Tack memorial stone below.
