Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Channel Islands were the only British territories to be invaded by Nazi Germany during WWII due it's proximity to occupied France and Channel Islanders suffered hardships because of wartime shortages and brutal Nazi regulations. British troops did not attempt to stage a landing until the official German declaration of surrender in May 1945 (to avoid unnecessary civilian casualties) although RAF reconnaissance planes flew over photographing the islands and British propaganda leaflet drops on the islands occurred towards the end of the occupation to try and demoralize the Germans. Although the German occupying force put up little or no resistance to the British landing expedition, the German C/O refused to hand over control when asked for a formal surrender and was subsequently thrown into a police cell overnight until he changed his mind and accepted the war was over.
Featured review
So much to say about how great this series is ( 10/10 )
That I find myself at a loss for words. I have never heard of this story of WWII and this series though probably not historically accurate, give us somewhat of an idea about what the people of the Isle of Guernsey, situated near France which was taken over by the Nazis during WWII and put their population though major misery.
The story is told with such deftness and cleverness that it is not just an interesting historical drama, but a great story of friends, neighbors, war, citizens, and family. I never thought I would enjoy this so much or get so much out of it.
I unreservedly recommend "Enemy At The Door" to anyone who imagines they might find it interesting ... and others.
