A couple have discovered a World War II Nazi bunker marked with eerie Nazi phrases under their home after excavating their entire garden to uncover it.

Shaun Tullier, 35, and his wife Caroline, 32, uncovered the shelter lying 26ft below their house on the island of Guernsey years after moving in in October 2021.

After removing more than 100 tonnes of soil from their front garden, they were eventually met with an eerie staircase leading down into two large rooms and a hallway.

There are even a number of German phrases left on the walls of the base, including one reading 'achtung feind hort mit' - which translates to 'beware, the enemy is listening'.

The couple, from Torteval, have since decided to turn the bunker into their own games room complete with a snooker table and a gym. They are hoping to finish painting it in November, but have decided to keep the creepy writing in tact.
