The Second World War  ended almost 65 years ago memories fade, people who were
               involved may no longer be with us, events and happenings of historical importance
               can soon be forgotten. The story of the German Cemetery in Jersey still intrigues
               people to this day.
               For many centuries this corner of Jersey has been a holy site. It is probable that
               some time in the Stone Age a dolmen was built at this corner of the bay, and some
               kind of pagan worship was practised here. When Christianity arrived in the sixth
               century it was cleansed from pagan worship and dedicated to Christ.
               There is evidence of Christian burials here in the early ninth century, well before
               the present church.
               It was only natural therefore that the German authorities chose this holy place for
               their cemetery during the five years of occupation.
               A total of 337 bodies were buried here during this period.
               In 1960 the German War Graves Commission asked for permission to exhume the
               war dead, to enable them to be transferred to the German Military Cemetery at Mont
               de Huisnes, Manche Normandy. Permission was granted  by Lord Coutanche,
               Bailiff of Jersey on the 14th. July 1961.
