It is October 1940.
The two commandos, Nicolle and Symes are still at large and moving around the island. Much happened in the run up to their surrender, their treatment after they surrender and the consequences following this.
More British forces personnel surrender as part of the amnesty.
Food is already getting short so we talk about an unusual recipe that was used.
You can find some of the items, such as the recipes, notice about treatment of soldiers at large, ration books etc we talked about on the Islands at War Facebook page.
You can find out more about the occupation on my website Island Fortress here.
The books we referred to are:
I Beg to Report...Policing in Guernsey During the German Occupation – William Bell
Guernsey Occupation Diaries, 1940-45 - Author: Douglas Ord (ed. John Nettles)
The Commando Who Came Home To Spy – William Bell
Thanks to Gnet Radio for recording the podcast and thanks to Jim Delbridge for the use of his song ‘5 to 7’ as our theme.
