Reviews for The German Occupation of the Channel Islands
Rating: 3.625000025 out of 5 stars
3.5/5
8 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A detailed account of this period when Nazi Germany occupied a portion of British territory. It covers all the key areas in a methodical and readable way. The maps could be better though and a timeline of key dates would be useful.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Decent overview of the Channel Islands' war, maybe a little too much on the personal rather than military side for me, but it'd probably suit most casual readers.
