Beschrijving boek
Foreword by Russell Braddon.
The inside story of the Channel Islands under the nazi jackboot.
Frank Falla was a newspaperman in Guernsey when German forces occupied the Channel Islands in 1940. This is his story.
He describes how for three years he and his colleagues fought Nazi censorship. He relives his days as a contributor to the underground news sheet, and reveals the identity of the man who betrayed them and had them sent to German prisons. Finally, he tells of the disillusionment many Channel Islanders faced on liberation, as well as their joy at the freedom they had fought for so consistently.
But The Silent War is, above all, very readable, and is illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs.
