Sark, the fourth largest in size of the Channel Islands, was not overlooked when our German friends marauded this way in 1940 and hung around for five years. I commend to you Nick Le Huray’s blog post which tells of a strange but enduring love affair which flickered during those dreadful years, blossomed after Liberation and only came to a natural end very recently. The post contains a link to some rare wartime footage.

Yes I think Sark was probably the perfect posting if you were a German soldier.

So much interesting history, both regional and personal.

Indeed, Alderney & Sark experienced the Occupation in vastly different ways to both each other and the larger CIs Jersey and Guernsey. This Sark story is a gem.
