This episode of the Islands at War podcast delves into the complexities of life during the German occupation of Jersey in July 1942. Through the lens of Louis Guillemette's diary, we explore the impact of leaflet distribution, the thriving black market in Jersey, and the struggles of civilians seeking exemptions for their radios.
The episode also discusses the opening of the railway in Jersey, political dynamics surrounding the return of Mr. Sherwill in Guernsey to the controlling committee and the profound effects of military incidents on the youth. Additionally, pension issues and the construction of fortifications highlight the ongoing fears of counter-invasion, painting a vivid picture of life under occupation.
We also talked about the loss of a Hurricane off of Alderney. An interesting but sad tale.
