Download or read book Outpost of Occupation written by Barry Turner and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Channel Islands were what could have happened to all of us: a test-run of German occupation. That was certainly Hitler’s plan. Once Britain had demilitarised the idyllic, unspoilt holiday islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark in 1940 their fate was sealed: in July the Germans invaded. The following five years in their history offer an intriguing, and often uncomfortable, virtual history of how Britain might have looked under Nazi rule – and how British people, more to the point, might have responded to it, whether through submission, courageous resistance or even collaboration. Barry Turner’s is the first history of the Occupation since Madeleine Bunting’s acclaimed but controversial A Model Occupation in 1995. It is an extremely readable and above all fair-minded account, rich in personal testimonies, showing the extreme privations suffered by the Channel Islanders, so utterly cut adrift by Britain – even if for defensible reasons of wartime expediency –, and above all the huge moral and civic task required of their pre-war governing class, several of whom could hardly have been expected to rise to the occasion. It also draws on newly released documents in the Public Record Office to reveal the messy confusion of Britain’s postwar attitude to the Channel Islands, a source of enduring resentment there.

Download or read book Festung Guernsey 2 1 2 2 written by CLEARVUE and published by Clear Vue Pub. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is unique amongst all volumes on German fortifications of the Second World War, in that it was written by the German forces themselves. It is the ultimate guide to their defensive planning and mindset. The Channel Islands of Guernsey and Jersey nestle in the lee of the French coast. They are, however, British and in 1940 they became the first and only British territory to be occupied by the rapidly moving armies of Hitler's blitzkrieg. Hitler swiftly became obsessed by his conquest. Determined that they should not be retaken he set in place a massive series of fortifications designed to make the islands impregnable fortresses or Festung, as part of the Atlantic Wall. The Atlantic Wall ran for over three thousand miles, but by 1944 the tiny Channel Islands had consumed nearly 10% of all the concrete destined for the wall. They also contained the largest single garrison of the German Army and more heavy guns than 600 miles of Normandy coastline. In 1944 Lieutenant Colonel Hubner was charged with making a record of the immense fortifications. His team was drawn from the Divisionskartenstelle, the Divisional Cartographic Section, with some fourteen non-commissioned officers working across: drawing, photography, cartography, calligraphy and printing. The result is a stunning and comprehensive picture of the fortifications and a complete guide to their workings. 'Festung Guernsey' consists of 22 chapters and was originally published as a limited edition of 135, two-volume sets, bound in leather. The original work, being made by hand was only printed on the right hand pages, this means we have been able to provide a full translation on the left hand page, while retaining the original layout. This paperback version consists of 10 separate volumes, each consisting of 1, 2 or 3 chapters and replicates the page numbering of the original edition. It is the guide to the fortifications built on the British Channel Island of Guernsey written by the German occupying forces during the Second World War. Their defensive work made the islands the most fortified place on earth and this 10 volume paperback series, reproduces and fully translates the original manuscript, presenting an unique opportunity to study the German Army's defensive thinking and the fortifications they built. This ninth part, Weapons deployed & Mirus Battery, lists with an extensive collection of photographs all the weaponry and includes a chapter on the immense Mirus battery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains 20 papers from authors in the UK, USA, Germany and Austria. Historically, it gives examples of the influence of groundwater on battlefield tactics and fortress construction; describes how groundwater was developed for water supply and overcome as an obstacle to military engineering and cross-country vehicular movement by both sides in World Wars I and II; and culminates with examples of the application of hydrogeology to site boreholes in recent conflicts, notably in Afghanistan. Examples of current research described include hydrological model development; the impact of variations in soil moisture on explosive threat detection and cross-country vehicle mobility; contamination arising from defence sites and its remediation; privatization of water supplies; and the equitable allocation of resources derived from an international transboundary aquifer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany's Atlantic Wall was the most ambitious military fortification program of World War II. With Germany's gradual loss of the strategic initiative to the Allies, in 1942 Hitler was forced to construct an impenetrable wall of fortifications along the Atlantic and Mediterranean coast. This book deals solely with the structures on the French coast, starting with the Pas-de-Calais and extending down to Spain. It features detailed illustrations and diagrams of the various sections of the Atlantic Wall and the role that they played, giving a thoughtful analysis of some of the most accessible fortifications of World War II.

Download or read book Channel Islands at War written by George Forty and published by Ian Allan Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing upon first-hand reminiscences and a superb collection of historic photographs from a wide variety of sources - including private collections - the book details the history of wartime years then brings it up to date with a succinct survey of the surviving relics of the Nazi occupation which can still be seen today." "Channel Islands at War, originally published in hardback in 1999 and now reprinted in paperback to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the Islands' liberation in 1945, presents a graphic portrait of this fascinating aspect of recent British history. It will undoubtedly be of considerable interest to all those who study World War 2 in general and Northwest Europe in detail, and also be of particular interest to those who specialise in the employment of the armed forces of Nazi Germany, in a very different environment to that of the usual World War 2 battlefields."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Atlantic Wall Channel Islands written by George Forty and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2008-03-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Germans did not succeed in invading Britain during World War II, they occupied a number of islands in the English Channel. The English population continued to lead fairly normal lives, while the German occupiers built some of the most extensive fortifications of the Second World War. As the war progressed, British commandos made occasional attacks, resulting in harsher conditions on the islands. The German garrisons were totally isolated by the D-Day landings, but managed to hold on through the following winter to surrender in May 1945. The author, a renowned military historian, examines these questions with complete candor, in addition to his study of the famous fortifications. All of the wartime events and the islands and their fortifications as they are today are covered in the popular Battleground Europe style, with illustrations, maps and then-and-now photographs.

Download or read book Operation Basalt written by Eric Lee and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German soldiers assigned to guard the tiny Channel Island of Sark described it as a ‘little Paradise’ and, because it was never bombed by the RAF, the best air-raid shelter in all of Europe. But paradise for them came to a bloody end in October 1942 when a small group of British Commandos raided the island, capturing one German soldier and killing several others. Operation Basalt would have been a footnote in history but for the reaction of Hitler, who believed that British soldiers executed several Germans who had already surrendered and whose hands were bound. Days after the raid, he issued the infamous ‘Commando Order’, a death sentence for those Allied commandos who fell into German hands.Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews with survivors of the period, Eric Lee has written the definitive account of the raid, putting it into the context of the German occupation of British lands during the war.

Download or read book The Britannias An Archipelago s Tale written by Alice Albinia and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory portrait of Britain through its islands, The Britannias weaves history, myth, and travelogue to rewrite the story of this “island nation.” From Neolithic Orkney, Viking Shetland, and Druidical Anglesey to the joys and strangeness of modern Thanet, The Britannias explores the farthest reaches of Britain’s island topography, once known by the collective term “Britanniae” (the Britains). This expansive journey demonstrates how the smaller islands have wielded disproportionate influence on the mainland, becoming the fertile ground of political, cultural, and technological innovations that shaped history throughout the archipelago. In an act of feminist inquiry, personal adventure, and literary quest, Alice Albinia embarks on a series of journeys that traverse Britain and reach beyond its contemporary borders—from Europe to the Caribbean, Ireland to Scandinavia. She walks the coastlines of Lindisfarne, sails through the Hebrides archipelago, and bikes into Westminster at dawn. As she takes us across extravagantly varied island topographies and surveys centuries of history, Albinia ranges between languages and genres, and through disparate island cultures. She talks to stubbornly independent islanders and searches for archaeological and linguistic traces of island identities, discovering distinct traditions and resistance to mainland control. Trespassing into the past to understand the present, The Britannias uncovers an enduring and subversive mythology of islands ruled by women. Albinia finds female independence woven through Roman colonial reports and Welsh medieval poetry, Restoration utopias and island folk songs. These neglected epics offer fierce feminist countercurrents to mainstream narratives of British identity and shed new light on women’s status in the body politic today. Vivid, perceptive, and disruptive, The Britannias boldly upturns established truths about Britain while revealing its suppressed and forgotten beauty.

Download or read book Tank Turret Fortifications written by Neil Short and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tank Turret Fortifications traces the origins of the idea from the development of the first armoured turrets in the nineteenth century through to the present day. On the way it covers the inter-war period when the first turrets were used in this way, the Second World War, when tank turrets were used on every front in the European Theatre of Operations, and the post-war period, when tank turrets were used even more widely. The book also details the decline of the idea as countries reassessed the threats they faced and slowly dismantled all their fixed fortifications. Widely used during World War Two and since, tank turret fortifications deserve a history, and Neil Short has spent several years writing this, the first proper study.
