Amberley Publishing The Channel Islands At War : A Dark History

The incredible true story of what really happened in the Channel Islands during the Second World War. The Channel lslands were occupied on 30 June 1940 when four German planes landed at Guernsey Airport.They were the only part of Britain to be occupied during the Second World War.The islands had been officially demilitarised on 19 June, but the War Office in London overlooked the necessity to inform the Germans.This led to a German air attack on 28 June, which resulted in thirty-eight civilian deaths. Hitler was extremely proud of the conquest of the Channel lslands, and saw it as a stepping-stone to the full invasion of the rest of Britain.The occupying forces were instructed to behave correctly.This would show the rest of Britain that there was nothing to be feared from life under the Third Reich. This book looks at the German Occupation, the unsavoury events that occurred on the Islands, and why at the end of the war a cover-up of these events was instigated by the British Government.
