The Forgotten Nazi Occupation

The Nazi occupation of the Channel Islands created an almost impossible dilemma for residents: should they resist, collaborate, or walk a line between the two? The series draws on first-person testimony, pieced together to give multiple perspectives.

Two years into the occupation of the Channel Islands, life under Nazi rule takes a darker turn as mass deportations of islanders to German prison camps begin. Thousands of slave workers are brought in to transform the islands into fortresses.
