My dad grew up in jersey and came back to england just before Germans invaded he took me as a child not been for very long time you made me want to go back happy memories going to jersey as a child ❤

I am an educated 50-year old woman, who takes pride in being somewhat of an intellectual, but alas, I giggled like a naughty schoolboy upon hearing “winkle picking.” Thank you for the giggle and the wonderful history lessons whilst traveling through these beautiful islands with you.

Such luck to film that rainbow over the lighthouse! Every time I hear about Jersey, I think of Lillie Langtry, The Jersey Lily, and the wonderful Francesca Annis, who portrayed her in the old BBC mini-series. The Jersey calves are darling. The realities of German occupation during WWII were feared, but yet far away here in Southern California. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, (Dec. 7th, 1941) was closer to home, and there were fortifications built along our coastlines as well. My maternal grandfather was a block captain for the Civil Defense in Los Angeles, housing hard hats, shovels, and sand bags in his yard, and organizing local blackouts. Fortunately, no bombs were dropped. Recently, I found an original Nottingham newspaper dated May 9th, 1945, sent to my other grandfather (also living in Los Angeles) by his sister and mother who still lived in England. You have presented a full picture of this beautiful island; I love seeing the green surrounding the streams/small rivers on the map. The coastal scenes are wonderful! On to your Christmas Market next. Cheers!

Your narration, facts, and videography skills surpass what you could find on TV. So much detail. You make it very interesting. Thanks.

We love coming to Jersey 😊

Went to Jersey 30 years ago and we bought bread from a bakers that was cooked in cabbage leaves. I saw on the museum table a bread loaf with some cabbage leaves on it. The cabbage bread was delicious!

In 1951, age eleven, I visited an aunt in Jersey and there was a great deal of evidence of the German occupation still visible. Besides the underground hospital there were numerous large concrete block-houses, some in very inconvenient locations around town and I was told at the time they were too strongly built to remove easily. There were also many gun positions on the coast, some linked by underground tunnels. One of my relatives was an amateur film enthusiast and he's taken film of the Germans landing---which could have got him shot. He also had film, taken covertly during the occupation. I remember it showing islanders taking their bicycles upstairs at night for safety,---they were prized possessions! Also he'd taken film of German soldiers sitting around aimlessly after Germany's surrender, some of them asking the islanders for food!. I've always wondered what became of his films, they'd be a valuable historical record.

I spent a season at Seagrove Court Hotel Corbiere the hot summer of ‘55, great time with Gordons Gin at 16/- (80p) a bottle, Mary Ann or Randalls beer- pennies a pint. Numerous wonderful bars round the island, sand motorbike racing on St Ouens beach. New influx of gorgeous gals off the boat every week……wonderful holiday destination.

Another amazing place for history seekers as well as scenery tourists. Thanks Simon and Will.

I lived on the Island for 24 years and if the seat of power on the Island has been moved to the town hall of which I’m no sure. It has always been in the states chambers in the royal square. Apart from that I enjoyed your video.

Nicely done. The Smugglers Inn was my drinking hole in the 60s. It looks much the same. And I used to shoot air rifles in one of the wards of the underground hospital.

Another amazing video. You take us to places that some of us will never see you’re so patient. Can you speak so well thank you hello from New York.

Thank You so much for covering the Channel Islands!!! Really well done!!! I was always curious about these islands. Yet another place I will need to add to my list. I think I will need to live in the UK for a few months just to see everything. As a Native New Yorker, I hear Jersey and I think Jersey shore. Trust me, the state of New Jersey has nothing on this Island .... except maybe the Jersey Shore. Cheers from NYC!!! PS: Yes. There are Guernsey cows in [New] Jersey.

Jersey one of tge places that I want to visit. £189 is quite a lot but yes at least it's brand new. We love going to the museum.

Wow, what a great place. It’s certainly a lot nicer than the “Jersey” I grew up in (New Jersey, USA)! 😂

Correction! The Nazis occupied four islands - Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark. It was the only British territory to be occupied. They would remain there until the end of the War in Europe in May 1945. Hitler believed the Channel Islands might be a 'stepping stone' from which to invade Britain.

nice

Good video

A great look at a beautiful island. I guess there are not many people left who remember the occupation, they would have to be ninety or more, even if they had been children in WWII. Thanks.

Anyone been in febuary and is it more for older people

"do not climb on the tank" where is the tank? the sign is on a replica Stug III tank destroyer. the only tank on the island is my mate Alan's replica Panzer III.

Island whose cows are more famous and friendlier than its people😂

😀👍🙏

❤👍😘🥰🤩⚘🖐

What a beautiful island, a pity that it was occupied by the Germans who under Hitler had a terrible mentality towards innocent people. They stole everything and murdered countless innocent people and even after they lost the war they still destroyed many things because of their terrible hatred of others. Fortunately, Churchill, Alan Turing and Barnes Wallis and many others won the war for us. It's a shame about all that unnecessary concrete they put on these islands, but it can now be used as a museum. A wonderful informative film, thank you!

They made their contributions as did the women in the factories safe from the bombs in the US. But the real "winners of the war" were the many millions of wild tribes(persons) from the vastness of Russia who marched into battle through the minefields in front of their tanks to grind the invaders out of their homeland. Remove only them and the outcome may have been a different world today.

Small matter Royal Square and Liberation Square are different squares. Otherwise excellent tour.

Thank you for the correction, I have noted it in the first comment.

No travelling walkway/elevator on the coastal tracks/castles for the now legally-required disabled access?! Mon Dieu! What's the world coming to? 😲😈😄 Never made it to the Channel Isles even though I always wanted to visit Gerald Durrell's Zoo. Had to "make do" with Marwell near Winchester and Southampton. 😉😊

Fab video, but I believe that the Germans occupied Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark during WWII.
