Description

During the German occupation of Britain's Channel Islands, there were love affairs between island women and German soldiers, betrayals and black marketeering, individual acts of resistance, and feats of courage and endurance. Every islander was faced with uncomfortable choices: where did patriotism end and self-preservation begin? What moral obligation did they have to the thousands of emaciated and ill-treated slave laborers the Nazis brought among them to build an impregnable ring of defences around the islands?
