FELIXSTOWE INTERVIEW AUGUST 2000.
Dorothy Lakin (now Brice) Tel 01604863530.
Was in the A.T.S.during W.W.2. Joined February 6th 1941 in Northampton. Spent one year in Felixstowe at the AA Regimental HQ, which was in Cromwell Road, a large house near the YMCA (138 LAA). She was de-mobbed at the end of 1945.
The C.O. was a Col Stewart.
She worked the telephone exchange, which was a small type, one of her duties was to wake the cooks in the morning at 4am. They had huts quite close to the RHQ. One morning a man appeared out from a bush, but she kept going. It was alleged this person was a spy, the outcome of this was unknown.
She said that a friend was driving to Felixstowe from Walton-on-the Naze and that they had been warned about people wanting lifts, if they gave a lift to an unknown person they were to take them straight to an army check point or police station. He picked up a person who said he was going to Uxbridge in Scotland! He said his cap badge and buttons were all wrong and drove this person straight to the police station.
She said on one occasion they saw seven parachutes coming down, over Walton-on-the-Naze, these were also alleged to be spies and were handed over to the police!
Sometimes at night she would switch her bedroom light out and watch the activity out at sea. Gun fire, signals and explosions etc.
She said a lot of secret information came her way, unfortunately she would not talk about this side of her work at Felixstowe. The HQ was mainly concerned about administration of the AA sites in the area. She never visited any of the gun sites. Her husband (Leonard) was an AA gunner on the docks at Walton? He enjoyed cooking and was often sent to other AA sites to stand in for absent cooks. He usual job on the gun site was as a telephonist.
Dorothy had one stripe for a short time, which she hated, she said she like her freedom and was glad to relinquish post soon after.
She said towards the end of the War many V1s from Holland and France came over Felixstowe, some were so low they were nicknamed the Tomline Road Express. They also flew low over her billet, because of the height of some of them they could not fired at.

RE-INFORCED CONCRETE BUT WAS FINISHED OFF TO LOOK LIKE A NORMAL BUILDING. U.S.LEFT THE SITE IN THE 90s. SITE ON TM 2220.4420. A NUMBER OF WW2 AIR RAID SHELTERS WERE NEAR THE PERIMETER FENCE, BUT ONLY ONE REMAINS NOW:
VISIT ON 6.9.1997. SITE HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO & VANDALISED. THE MAIN BLOCK IS BUILT OF RE-INFORCED CONCRETE WITH A BRICK SKIN & TILED ROOF. INSIDE IT IS MORE OR LESS ONE MASIVE ROOM WITH A NUMBER OF SMALLER ROOMS AROUND THE PERIMETER. AT ONE END ARE TWO LARGE STEEL DOUBLE DOORS FOR BRINGING EQUIPMENT IN, THERE IS A DECOMTAMINATION ROOM? AT THIS END. STRANGELY THOUGH NO AIR LOCK INTO IT. THERE IS A SMALLER PERSONEL ENTRANCE AT THE OPOSITE END WITH BLAST WALL AROUND IT.

TWO LOOP HOLES ON EACH FLANK BUT NO SIGN OF ANY FORWARD FACING LOOP HOLE. VERY THICK CONCRETE & LOCAL VOLCANIC ROCK WAS USED TO CAMOUFLAGE THE FRONT (TO GOOD EFFECT) & THE COLOURING OF THE CONCRETE MATCHED THE LOCAL SAND. ACCESS WAS FROM THE CENTRE OF THE REAR. INSIDE THERE ARE TWO CONCRETE SHELVES EITHER SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE PASSAGE. THESE SHELVES ARE ABOUT 18" BELOW THE BASE OF THE LOOP HOLE. THE SOLDIER WOULD HAVE TO KNEEL OR HALF LAY TO OBSERVE THROUGH THEM.
ONE EXAMPLE HAD A REAR STAIRCASE UP TO THE ROOF THIS WAS SITED JUST SOUTH OF THE TOWN CORRALEJO, ON THE COAST. ITS PRESUMED THAT THIS LINE WAS BUILT WW2 TO PREVENT GERMAN OR BRITISH INVASION TO USE THE ISLAND AS A STEPPING STONE FOR NORTH AFRICA WAS BUILT IN 1936-SEE CASEMATE 58:

IN THE YARD OF THE CASTLE OT BEGAN TO BUILD A 50 METRE DEEP ELEVATOR SHAFT, LEADING TO EXTENSIVE TUNNELS AT THIS DEPTH. THE COMPLETE EQUIPMENT OF CASTLE BELLEVUE, BERLIN, WAS MOVED TO BAD SALZBRUNN, TO FURNISH THE SYSTEM. IN ONE OF THE SUITES, WHICH WOULD BE ALLEGEDLY INHABITED BY HITLER, A BUILT IN ELEVATOR WAS CONSTRUCTED.
UNDER THE CASTLE-YARD IS LOCATED THE MAIN SYSTEM, WHICH HAD 4 ENTRANCES, AND WAS, AS A CHIEF-ENGINEER OF OT TOLD, PLANED FOR THE OKW. THIS SYSTEM WAS FINISHED. THE OVERALL TUNNEL LENGTH IS 950 METERS AND THE BASE IS 3200 QM.
