Public Lecture: Narrating the German Occupation of the Channel Islands

Part of the On British Soil events series The presentation will retrace the evolution of the historiography – and interpretation - of the occupation of the Channel Islands; in the light and context of the international development of the study of the Nazi occupation of Europe in World War II. This evolution will be illustrated through the path- and agenda-setting contributions made over the past decades, including the presenter’s own work on the occupation since 1998.
