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.
