Photo gallery of the German Occupation

Iconic images of the German Occupation

This page contains links to the largest online collection of pictures taken shortly before, during and immediately after the German Occupation of Jersey. The collection has grown so big that we have had to split the gallery into individual subject pages. More images will be found on pages containing individual articles on the German Occupation.
