Guernsey and its neighbouring islands have a unique distinction which sets them apart from the rest of the British Isles. Together with the rest of the Channel Islands, they were the only part of the British Isles to fall to Nazi Germany in the Second World War. In this documentary, Dan Snow discovers the unique wartime experience of these islands and the people who lived on them. From a daring commando raid on Sark to an extraordinary reconnoitre of untouched World War Two archaeology submerged in an Alderney quarry, join Dan as he explores the wartime history - above and below the ground.

Best regards from Germany. May this Island find peace for ever. I have been to Jersey in the 90's as a kid. We were staying at a very nice local familys' house with kids at my age. Must have been 12 or 13 and speaking the best English in my family. We played football, tennis and I learned the cricket rules. My grandfather was 16 when he was forced into the wehrmacht. Wounded an traumatized as a POW. He was beaten up many times by British guards. Never hated the British and made a visit to London in his 70s. It makes me keep my faith in humanism to see people forgive and make their peace. Thanks Canal Island people.

This is a fascinating documentary. The wartime stories of peoples lives, the scale of the fortifications. Also the significance and opportunities of what was discarded in the quarry. Documentaries like these really deserve more airtime than the reconstituted cr@p they usually put on TV.

WoW, I never knew anything of this place as they have hidden it for some reasons...... there is nothing wrong w/ a person having Pride for their Nation but the globalist elites of this world have tried to remove that sentiment from all of us out of fear that it might unite the people? Lately I've been glad to see people of the UK waving their Flags around & you lived w/ the good/bad of this place so you deserve to be heard in both your pride or disdain for any thing that happened way back then. This is an amazing piece of video..... but why has this not been told? Do you know why it might be hidden from history or was it so small that they forgot? I think they didn't want this story to come out..... do you know? peace & God Bless.

My whole family is from Guernsey. When my grandpa was young, he and his mother and siblings had to evacuate because of WW2. He stayed in England but unfortunately his mother came down with Tuberculosis. He says his mother had to stay in a shed in the garden when she came down with it and he said that every morning he would wave at her through the window. She died while still in England. Even today going down the beaches you see their bunkers and buildings. It is a fascinating place and was the only place in Britain where three Jews were taken hostage. I am glad it is getting the recognition it deserves. Oh also castle Cornet has really good rock candy in the gift shop in case you ever go.

Saw a just post war photo once, a small cove had hundreds of German steel helmets thrown In, at depth, as you could clearly see the lids at the top of the pile, above the water. Maybe it was this quarry, just imagine!!

Dame Sybil Hathaway of Sark was my Grandfather's Godmother - although my Dad has no idea of why & what the original connection was - & he can only remember one visit to the islands before the war.

Nice! I thing that interests me about New Zealand is the Hacca, in rugby. I don't really like the Hacca, but I read about the history of it and I found it quite interesting. I don't think New Zealand ever really gets mentioned but I think if someone did do research on it I think it would be quite interesting. I think that's what I don't like, you learn lots about Britain and the history, but you never learn about commonwealth countries, or other countries in general. I think it's a shame.
