A few weeks it was great to welcome Paul Woodadge and Mag from WW2TV along with JD from History Underground to Guernsey.
They live streamed some videos as well as recording some other video for future use.
They had lots of activities organised for them by Visit Guernsey but on their afternoon off I showed them around a few places. The video below is talking about Operation Anger & Operation Ambassador and how Al Murray challenged the view that Ambassador was a disaster when Nick met him in September.
Woody then streamed from further around the cliffs.
I then took them to the German Cemetery at Fort George.
We then took a quick trip to the memorial for the Typhoon Pilot John Saville. After the video you can see a link to my article on this raid.
Woody has produced a great video giving a taster of their time here and his initial thoughts on their visit. Do take a look at it and subscribe to his YouTube Channel as there will be lots of more content coming out later on around the Channel Islands.
JD from History Underground filmed a lot of content which will be appearing on his channel in the future including some great drone footage so do go and subscribe to his channel ass well so that you don’t miss out.
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.
