I'm a Yank. Wondering if the allies held any of the channel islands during fall/summer of 44? Thank you.

But why didn't the islanders resist the Germans? 'Bergerac' John Nettles wrote a book about this.

I never really knew much about this part of history as England doesn't speak of it much. What an embarrassment and painful episode in British History. So sorry for all those poor people shipped off to camps and prisoners stuck out there slaving for the Germans. No wonder not much is talked about regarding the islands

Why do all the news readers from this time sound like they are talking through there nose

Fascinating Imperialist attitude in this film. The Channel Islands have never been part of the United Kingdom; they're nothing to do with Britain. They are, however, personally owned by the British Royal Family.

The Channel Islands fared very well under German occupation.
