We entered 5he campby a road that split into two. The germans buolt these road for easy transport. On the way to the gate posgs a bunker, that was cleared 2 years ago it was a guard bunker to guard the people coming in and out of the camp. A pill box left of th gate also who would have had a german man stationed with a peep hole looking towards the gqte posts.
The gate posts themselves are very tall stront structures. Looking at the map of larger sylt (black and white) there is a large d3pression in the soil which isnlabeled as 'Q' it is full of ivy, know to stick to buildings and concrete. Theyhave been addressed as the prisoner quarters.
A foundation of a toilet block that is visible for us to see was excaavted 2/3 years ago, it is not on the map that was illistrated, but was very easy to find with little vegstiin groeth on the top of it.
The cellar sas brick built shower that they used better reasources for themselves, the kitchen entrance had steps going directly down into it. Walking to the comanders house nothing other than the (white airport building) and the gates posts nothing is visible. Showjng that everythung was hidden perpouely.
The commander maximillion, had a tunnel to and from a building in a prisoner area, it has been speculated that it was used for him to take women from the camp.The building has been thought of, to be used as an air raid helter. There are numerous holes and pipe work coming in through the roof. And a stairway going to the roof, there is a shoot thag is assumed to be a loundry shoit and the room underneath used to do loundry. Either way, it shows easy access to the commanders house.
