Abstract | It is no surprise that the wartime history of the Channel Islands, although much of it has been plundered to create quaint narratives for tourism purposes, remains to this day a sensitive topic, especially on Guernsey. ... The history of the Occupation in the islands is a disconcerting challenge, on all sides, the the comforting myths of British exceptionalism, heroism and decency. |
