Heligoland Fortified: Britain's 1890 Gift Fueled German Power
The Montreal Journal of Commerce details Heligoland in the North Sea, noting Britain ceded the island to Germany 36 years ago in exchange for East Africa jungle land. Fortifications, breakwaters, Krupp guns, Zeppelins and naval bases transformed the tiny isle into a Gibraltar of the North, guarding Kiel Canal and Hamburg, with minefields and a large fleet-ready roadstead. The piece argues the fortifications prove Germany’s long term strength and hints Britain may reclaim Heligoland after the war ends.
