Besides being the only British territory occupied by the Germans in
the Second World War, it is perhaps less generally known that the
Channel Islands were fortified out of all proportion to the rest of
Hitler's Atlantic Wall: a legacy that is explored in individual
chapters on Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey and Sark. First-hand
accounts of all seven Commando raids are brought together for the
first time. A summary of how the Islands' hotels were put to use by
their German guests may intrigue present-day visitors, and a review
of the war museums gives an insight into the variety of relics that
enthusiasts have had the foresight to preserve. The war cemeteries
are described, and there is a list of every grave of both sides of
the two World Wars. Annotated aerial photographs form an important
aspect of the book among them unique pictures of Sark for which
exceptional permission was granted to enter the island's inviolable
airspace.
