The Changing Face of the Channel Islands Occupation : Record, Memory and Myth

This independent study has already attracted controversy.

Containing much fresh evidence, it vividly portrays the Islanders' day-to-day Occupation experiences, whilst exploring - and often refuting - what are today becoming received ideas of a mostly 'shameful' wartime past.

Aspects discussed include: collaboration; resistance; starvation; the fate of missing forced workers; whether Island Officials knowingly sent three Jewish women to their deaths in Auschwitz; and whether the Islands' experiences were unique, or would simply have charted the course of Hitler's planned invasion of Britain.
