The liberation of the Channel Islands
The only part of the British Isles to be occupied during World War Two was only liberated when Berlin fell and the German army surrendered in May 1945.
The only part of the British Isles to be occupied during World War Two was liberated when the German army surrendered in May 1945. The Channel Islands are situated just off the coast of France, and yet even after the Allies had invaded the French coast, they remained under German occupation. Barbara Frost was 17 years old when liberation came. She has been telling Robbie Wojciechowski about life under occupation.
