Commando Raids on the Channel Islands
Part of Channel Islands at War Week
The Channel Islands are an archipelago in the English Channel, off the coast of Normandy. They include two Crown Dependencies: the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Bailiwick of Guernsey, consisting of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm and some smaller islands. Although they are not part of the United Kingdom, the UK is responsible for the defence and international relations of the islands. They have a total population of about 171,916.
My guest today is Nick Le Huray who runs the excellent blog https://island-fortress.com/. Nick has lived on Guernsey all his life and his website focuses on personal accounts of the lives of Islanders, occupying forces, and military operations in and around the Channel Islands.
Nick will be talking about the various Commando raids and missions for the Channel Islands. Both those that took place and those that were planned but never undertaken.
