What information still exists about this site? Were the Luftwaffe bomber pilots really irritated by this clever action? Stefan.
Some info on Arne here: German Casualities on CWGC database. And here: How Arne Saved Holton Heath | Dorset Life - The Dorset Magazine
Thanks a lot. Until today I simply was not aware of this place and what happened there - pretty clever. I bet Hermann Goering was not amused. Stefan.
The area is still a RSPB nature reserve with a good cafe and walks, bird hides etc. I have never seen a notice board there or near the church which refers to the Starfish use. Incidentally, there was another Starfish site on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour which had a similar role.
