But then you run into an early chapter on the dalliances between German occupiers and channel island women and what you find is what you will get for the rest of the book, a verbatim transcript of interviews with the thinnest narrative to hold them together. One entire chapter is little more than the case histories, one after another, of Jewish men and women who found themselves on one of the islands when the Nazis moved in. They are dearly worth remembering and a better story-teller might have done them justice, but the real lesson behind it all is just how eager the local authorities were to cooperate when the Nazis came knocking. This gets little more than a mention or two as the book fails to address the questions of how and why. What did the authorities on Jersey and Guernsey think they were doing when they bent over backwards to accommodate Nazis in their genocide? We don't know because it seems the author never asked. We just get the raw facts of what brought Jewish people to the islands and what became of them. We see the same approach when it comes to Slavic prisoners brought to the islands to construct defensive walls - an enumeration of events rather than some critical analysis of what the island residents did. In short, this is a book twice too long for what it offers, much more a diary of the author's interviews than a real attempt at piecing together what could have been a fascinating and vital story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bunting's analysis of this often neglected theatre of war answers ... *by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2015* Bunting's analysis of this often neglected theatre of war answers virtually any question one might have regarding the Channel Island occupation. The Model Occupation clearly outlines the preceding circumstances which led to German domination, the interaction between natives and the occupying forces, and the precarious aftermath following liberation. A must read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very interesting, little-known WWII history *by C***Z on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2013* I found this book very interesting. I've read many books on WWII, but this is a little known, but very worth knowing, aspect of the war. Shows human nature at it's best and worst. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/11955511-the-model-occupation-the-channel-islands-under-german-rule-1940](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/11955511-the-model-occupation-the-channel-islands-under-german-rule-1940) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
