Nick was delighted to be invited to talk to the well known historian and author Dr Philip Blood about the German occupation of the Channel Islands during the Second World War. Phil has written a number of books and contributes to the Fallout Sub stack. Please do go and take a look at the Substack site and if you like the content subscribe.

It was an absolute privilege for Nick to be invited to speak to Phil. Phil has a great amount of knowledge about life in the occupied territories of mainland Europe including the Channel Islands and how it was different to the mainland Europe experience.

We had a great chat about resistance and how it was different from mainland Europe, collaboration, food and much more.
