epub | 3.74 MB | English | Will Fowler | 2016 | The History Press

Description: The occupation of the Channel Islands in World War II is an often-neglected aspect of the war: here, for the first time, Will Fowler presents an atmospheric account of life under German occupation peppered with first-hand accounts and details of the political manoeuvring behind the scenes. Fowler sets down the failed raids and planning and provides the most comprehensive account of the last German raid of the war: the Granville Raid of 8th March 1945. The raid was a success, damaging British and American ships taking much-needed coal back to the Channel Islands.
