In the September 1941 edition of the Islands at War podcast we cover a number of aspects of events that month.
As requested by many people we have expanded the podcast to include regular Jersey content so each month going forward there will a more about Jersey.
We kick off this episode with the incredible escape of Denis Vibert from Jersey in a tiny boat. Moving on to some rumours of a tunnel being constructed from Jersey to France!
The Guernsey Press organised a charity swimming gala. Pictures and report below. See if you can spot any relatives! 2,000 people, a tenth of the population, attended.
One person didn’t do so well as he ended up in court!
The Germans hold a review where German artistes could perform. Wish I had thought of this before we recorded the episode but it is kind of “Germany’s Got Talent”.
We also talk about RAF activity in the area and shipping attacks.
You can find the podcast episode on all the major podcast apps or listen in the player below.
I hope that you have enjoyed reading the blog post.
I also co-host a podcast with Keith Pengelley in which we talk about the occupation of the Channel Islands month by month using first hand accounts, diaries and our research in the archives. You can find us on all the major podcast services. Just search “Islands at War” or visit our podcast page here.
