Story

Opened in 1966 in an outbuilding on Richard Heaume's parents' farm; Heaume was born in 1944 during the occupation and grew up collecting shells and bullets from a former Luftwaffe firing range on the family farmland; continuously expanded since opening (inferred from the source page)

German Occupation Museum is owned and operated by Richard Heaume, providing a unique insight into life in Guernsey during the occupation from 1940 to 1945. It features re-created shop frontages depicting a street in St Peter Port between 1940 and 1945, with many original artefacts on display. The German Occupation Museum is a noteworthy parish establishment in Forest. —
