NOVEMBER 1942 PODCAST IS OUT! FRANKEN SPITFIRE, A LANCASTER IN SARK, SPITFIRE CRASH AND A GERMAN CALLED GEORGE FALLA!

This episode we have the stories of two Spitfire Pilots who having been shot down in the Channel Islands end up at Stalag Luft III and one of them takes part in the Great Escape.

One of the pilots Norman Amos can be found in the picture below.

A Lancaster crash lands in Sark and the crew survive only to be captured and become POWs.  

The mystery of a German soldier called George Falla, yes you read that correctly a German soldier with a Guernsey name!

We talk about the hullabaloo caused when the Irish enquire if any Irish citizens have been deported and the Germans realise they made a mistake.   

The Guernsey Deportees Podcast by Ollie Guillou is well worth a listen.  You can find it here.
