In this episode Keith talks to Tim Osborne of Tim’s Guided Walks about his recommended books about the German occupation. This comes with a health warning that you might end up purchasing books!
Tim tells us why these books are so important to him and how they help his tour guiding.
Some are out of print but can be obtained from the internet.
First book is Ernie Gavey’s guide to Fortifications which you can find here
Second book is Operation Basalt by Eric Lee. The raid on Sark. You can find this here.
His third choice was Alderney at War which is out of print. You can however find copies here on occasion.
His fourth choice is available on Kindle here Island of Dread.
