Synopsis

When the Germans arrived on the Channel Islands in June 1940, they and the islanders agreed that it would be a "Model Occupation". But as the war dragged on and Britain appeared to abandon the islands to their fate, so features of Nazi occupation widespread throughout Europe emerged. Making use of recently released archives, private papers and interviews with islanders, slave labourers and German soldiers who lived through the five-year Occupation, the author tells the human story of the only part of Britain to fall under Nazi rule. She tells of love affairs, betrayals and black marketeering, individual acts of courage and endurance. What was collaboration and what legitimate pragmatism? How did Geman officers responsible for attrocities escape justice?
