As with many of the island’s British Victorian fortifications, the Germans utilised Fort Tourgis.
Fort Tourgis was one of the fifteen surviving Victorian British forts of the 1850s that was strengthened by the Germans, with the addition of three 2cm anti-aircraft gun positions and two 10.5cm coast defence gun bunkers.
