My father was one of the soldiers who liberated the islands, he said it was an open secret that a large number of islanders were collaborators,, everyone knew it, but it was thought best to forget it
-
Due to the Covid 19, we will not this 75th anniversary be having the planned arrangements. however those like myself who where here in 1945. do not forget.May 9th.
-
Germans marching through town in 1940. British marching through all of Germany in 1945. Meaning it ain't who marches first, it's who marches last that counts.
-
i love going to the under ground base on jersey and seeing all the fortifications
-
British Spitfires didn't come at night to neutralise the Stukas, probably because of the civilians.
-
3:51 I'm pretty sure the commander of the German occupation did not have a picture of Sophie Scholl in his quarters.
-
The German 319th Infantry as stationed there the whole war and was one of the largest . Tanks and aircraft wee stationed there also. The island grew tomatoes and as supplies were cut off they eat nothing but. Major Hider was a village commander and I bought his wartime portrait at a second hand store in California. Has it for years until I saw a documentary about the island and heard about him. Made arrangements to return the oil painting back to the islands museum and did.

The Queen's Mother's visit to Guernsey in 1975, I was working at the Royal Hotel and we can see her brief appearance at the Royal balcony in company of the former Governor and the Bailiff of Guernsey.
-
Many thousands of guernsey and jersey men served with the royal hampshire regiment contributing to the war effort
-
It's weird to see the German troops marching past English signs and shops
-
This ITV channel TV program from the 70s is also now part of history especially seeing the British Airways Vickers Viscount brings back memories of my first flight at the age of nine to the Isle of Man in a Cambrian Airways Viscount from Speke now John Lennon Airport Liverpool.

An interesting point: at then 3'50" mark, when the narrator says that "for the doctor in charge there were all the comforts of home" we're shown a room, with a photograph on a desk. Then we see it close-up. It's a portrait photograph of Sophie Scholl, one of the student leaders of the White Rose resistance movement in Germany. She was arrested, condemned to death, and executed by guillotine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Scholl

Look no further than the Channel Islands to know what Britain would have become if Operation Sea Lion had succeeded.
-
Authentic taxi driver statement in 1997 just after I had first landed in Guernsey coming from Dinard, : "Germans are welcomed in the island.... As tourists" .!
-
It took so long for the islands to all be liberated that sark was liberated the day after
-
Us channel islanders we are a special breed . I’m a Guernsey man born and bread . No one today would know what it’s like to have their freedom take away . A very good friend of my family whom like part of mine stayed . She said a person told the English forces we’ve waited so long . We are so glad you’ve come
-
Why the photo of Sophie Scholl at 3.54 ?
-
Thats my father 6:39 w/op 24 squadron
-
Where did supplies of food and essentials come from during the period 6th June 1944 to 9th May 1945?
