Dr Cruickshank provides a full account of the German invasion, the subsequent landings of various British agents, raids, and of an attempt by psychological warfare to end the Occupation. He also looks at how the islanders and Wehrmacht lived, the reality of collaboration with the occupying powers, and the extent of support for the Resistance. The significance of this episode in the history of the Second World War, which the Germans saw as their first conquest of British soil and a springboard to further occupation of British territory, is essential reading for anyone interested in the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComprehensively illustrated with a wealth of contemporary photographs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sutton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67671996924203,"sku":"18704","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/1289\/5019\/files\/the-german-occupation-of-the-channel-islands-by-charles-cruickshank-new-1990-hardback_18704_main_original.jpg?v=1791259236","url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/the-german-occupation-of-the-channel-islands-by-charles-cruickshank-new-1990-hardback","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
