German occupation of the Channel Islands...



Item # 709049

July 01, 1940

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, July 1, 1940

* German occupation of the Channel Islands (1st report)
* Islands of Guernsey & Jersey - English Channel


The top front page has a six column headline: "NAZIS OCCUPY TWO BRITISH ISLANDS" with subheads. (see images) Two blurry photos of Hitler in conquered Paris, France.
Complete with 20+ pages, light toning at the margins, tiny binding holes and some wear along the spine, otherwise very nice.

wikipedia notes: The Channel Islands were occupied by Nazi Germany for most of the Second World War, from 30 June 1940 until their liberation on 9 May 1945. The Bailiwick of Jersey and Bailiwick of Guernsey are two British Crown dependencies in the English Channel, near the coast of Normandy. The Channel Islands were the only part of the British Empire to be invaded and occupied by German forces during the war.
