Occupation Life: Real Lives on German Occupied Guernsey

0/5 ( ratings)

The Channel Islands were the only British territory to be occupied during World War II. My family stayed in Guernsey throughout five years of occupation.
This book re-lives the happenings and frights amongst family and friends, and real stories from children at school and play. I was aged nine in 1940 and remember the near panic when half the population were evacuated to the UK and shortly afterwards, the German air raid on St Peter Port harbour when many civilians lost their lives. The Germans arrived two days later.
In 1942 and 1943, there was the forced deportation of more than 1000 people from Guernsey to internment camps in Germany.
Pictures of such great joy as the Red Cross ship Vega arrived, the Liberation Day celebration and so many other historic photographs capturing Real Lives on German Occupied Guernsey.
Other books written by Molly: A Child's War, Reflections of Guernsey and A Time for Memories.

Format: Kindle Edition
