KEurope has been the continent with the most wars in the world in the past century. Europe went through two world wars in the last century. Between the two great wars, no man in Europe might pass without having taken part in some way. Like the soldiers, the common man became involved in the security of his own country. The post-World War II Cold War era in Europe was much the same. An electrician who had to serve in the military during the Cold War unrest shared that military secret with his family 66 years later on his 80th birthday.

Guernsey is an island in the English Channel between England and France. Keith Tostevin (80), who returned to the island of Guernsey for the first time since 1957, revealed the secret to his family. In 1957, Keith Tosteev received his first military commission when he was 14 years old. It was to install electricity in a former German bunker on the island of Guernsey. But the superior also asked him to keep it top secret. During the Cold War, there were reports that bunkers were prepared to serve as shelters for government officials in the event of a nuclear attack, but he did not know that he was part of it. Moreover, in the last 66 years, Keith never once disclosed the work assigned to him, and the top officials did not give any reason for the secret plan. And I’m still not even sure what the purpose of his work is. All I got was a hint that someone had spoken to me many years later, saying that a senior executive at Guernsey would be tamisican in case of denuclearization. And to report any radiation from France. That’s it.’ He says.

Finally, following 66 years, he arrived on the island of Guernsey with his family to clarify the secret entrusted to him. The bunker has been closed since the 1980s. However, Festung Guernsey, the bunker’s current custodian, allowed Keith Tosteve to visit the bunker on his 80th birthday. However, Keith and his family arrived on the island of Guernsey from Canada, unaware of the connection between Keith and the Guernsey Bunker. Speaking to the media later, Keith’s younger daughter said, ‘We thought we knew everything regarding him until now. But when we got here it was a surprise for all of us.’ means
