the channel islands ended up being part of hitler's fortress. he thought about an impregnable wall that would be set up around newly-occupied france. and as he's taking areas that -- there's so many concrete 'em placements and watch towers left there. there was some sense that perhaps he could use it for an invasion of england, but that was more likely, actually, to come from northern france. but part of it was the pride of taking part of england. it's right there for the taking. these were also very good growing spaces, one of the most wonderful things in their eyes for the germans who came over there, they referred to it as tomato island because they raised so many tomatoes. and it's a lovely area for growing crops. so, of course, this would help to feed germany during wartime. so it was that kind of mixed feeling that he felt could be an asset to him. and the second question was -- i'm sorry. >> the photograph. >> oh, the photographs, yes. those were the id photographs that were taken -- this is another thing that you see with the germans. as
