Very heavily skewed narration, I would have expected better from Smithsonian. I live on the Channel Island of Jersey. The islands were de-militarised by the British government in June 1940 and British officials and their families evacuated. The islanders however were left behind and had no realistic option other than to accept German occupation. There were no British military forces left to 'defend' the islands, so the local government, in an effort to protect the lives and property of islanders, reluctantly accepted German rule for the next 5 years.

[@Mudguts1973]

Yep, agree 100%......it is heavily opinionated to the point where the actual facts don't seem to matter! The truth ends up getting lost in the end....just to make way for a "good" story! Sad really!

[@jameswhyard2858]

Not quite so. My father used to collect RAF leaflets dropped on the Island. Unfortunately, one found itself in the hand of a man who gave it to a Jersey Policeman. He had no need to, but he gave it to the Germans who arrested him, interrogated him, and imprisoned him for "distributing enemy propaganda" I've always asserted that this is indicative of "Vichy" collaboration...

[@kurt479]

Why did the islanders agree to return to British rule after being abandoned by Britain in 1940 then? 🤣 Even the Falkland Islands were better protected that were the other side of the world than the Channel Islands.

[@stnicholas54]

I spoke with residents of St Peter Port in 1975 who experienced the occupation. According to them the German garrison on Guernsey were, by the time the war in Europe was coming to its close, half-dead from starvation. They weren't doing too good themselves either.

[@stnicholas54]

@Keith Busch I agree but as the Allies closed in on Germany from all sides in 1944/45 the food situation in Germany itself was becoming dire. Soldiers in far flung outposts like the Channel Islands were written off and the residents I spoke with said they all felt sorry for these young Germans. Doubtless they had sons too and to their credit they felt pity for them.

[@ollie2244]

You're the first American I've heard that actually understands what really happend during the war. The British had already been fighting for 2 years before the USA got involved. It really is impressive how fast the Nazi's occupied Europe. Hitler's downfall was choosing to fight a war on two fronts which stretched his armies, eventually it became too difficult for the Germans to get supplies to the front lines and they started to fall back, when your boys joined in his days were numbered.

[@alexlyster3459]

Speaking as a dual national agreed. Even before the war American assistance in terms of materials was vital after the losses at Dunkirk, and for an under prepared Royal Navy in terms of the land lease destroyers to bulk up RN numbers. However Britain was far from defeated, and after the defeat of the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain was never really in any danger of being invaded. It's important not to forget the men of the countries such as New Zealand, Australia and India who fought along side British troops from the wars start.

[@krazytroutcatcher]

Oliver Fowler How fast they invaded? It took them long enough to make a decision. Even after the Saar offensive, to the day Churchill came into power it was around 7-8 months before they bothered, the French probably didn’t think that the Germans would drive around the Maginot line. The invasion of the Netherlands and France was down to ground gain to avoid the trench warfare of the First World War, where a stalemate happened up to 1916.

The truth is Britain completely failed her territories in WWII, especially those in the Far East. Read the transcripts and you realise the British war and government machinery was absorbed more in 'principles' and processes than effective defence. Again and again, their forces had outdated technology and their commanders were mostly officers who did understand how to strike to win. From Dunkirk to Singapore, there were too many terrible failures in command. Thank goodness, the Falklands proved her fighting men to be good, but again, her complete failure to protect the territories Britain governs.

[@KumaBean]

'...Again and again, their forces had outdated technology' We invented radar and deployed it in secret, the world would be a very different place now if we hadn't done so. We also developed the jet engine and supplied it to our allies. Not too shabby, I'd say, 🤝

[@archivesoffantasy5560]

Operation Compass is by numbers perhaps the most decisive victory of the entire war (on numbers not influence). William Slim flipped a desperate situation on its head and won a campaign against Japan in the Burma. UK along with the help of some Poles, Canadians and others repelled the Naz1 invasion at the Battle of Britain. Even just mobilising a global empire is a big deal. Alan Turing cracked the enigma and invented the modern computer in the process. Poles started it off and must be recognised and appreciated but Turing took it to the next level. The Royal Navy sunk the Bismarck. British intelligence used a dead body with fake plans to deceive German high command. Plus Montgomery’s campaign in North Africa and inventing Radar as the user above me mentioned. So there was hardly only defeats. But yes of course there were defeats too. Pound for pound, Germany’s army was the best in the world.

The Channel Islands are not part of Britain nor the UK

[@camm8642]

there are possessions of the british crown though and the responsibility for there defense and foreign affairs is the UK's.

[@jeanlongsden1696]

we are part of the British Isles. at least Google things before posting.

[@andrewmaidstone480]

@@jeanlongsden1696 the Republic of Ireland and the Channel Islands are also part of the ‘British Isles’ but neither they nor the Isle of Man are part of Britain. There is a difference Jean and unjustified personal sarcastic slights are totally unwarranted.

Actually the British destroyed the remnants of the German occupation, especially on Alderney. They pushed most of it into the flooded quarry to make it safe for the residents to return

Auch wenn man Nazis verachtet, muß man zugeben, daß die Besatzung der Kanaleilande ziemlich friedlich abgelaufen ist, die Guernseyer usw und die Nazis waren sich nicht feindlich gesonnen, sondern lebten gut zusammen und hatten viel Berührung miteinander. Dieser Beitrag ist Stimmungsmache.

The “Channel Islands” (which is not an official name) are not part of Great Britain, and are not part part of the United Kingdom. The islands are two ”crown dependencies” in Normandy. Since the islands are not part of (Great) Britain or the UK, they are not members of the Commonwealth of Nations (the British Commonwealth).

[@camm8642]

there protection is the responsibility of the UK and the channel Islanders are British citizens.....
