Talk with Barbara Graham: German Occupation of the Channel Islands

Talk with Barbara Graham: German Occupation of the Channel Islands

A British policeman holds the door of a staff car as Major Albrecht Lanz, the first German Kommandant of Guernsey and Jersey, alights outside his Headquarters (Kommandantur) at the former Channel Islands Hotel on Glategny Esplanade, Saint Peter Port, Guernsey.

A graphic image with text that reads "A Day to Remember! Come along to a VE Day 80 celebration, Celebrating VE Day's 80th anniversary. ve-vjday80.gov.uk, V80, THE BIG LUNCH".

The Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles to be occupied by Nazi Germany during World War 2. Join us for Talk with Barbara Graham: German Occupation of the Channel Islands and discover how life changed radically for Islanders who had to obey a new set of restraining laws, endure increasingly severe rationing, and face separation from family members serving in HM Forces or those who had evacuated.

Free event, but booking is required by telephoning Troon Library on 01292 315 352.
