This is a story of a young girl's life in the beautiful island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands of Britain and how it dramatically changed when the Island became occupied by Nazis during World War II.People who are born in the beautiful Island of Guernsey are known as Guernsey Donkeys. The reason being, they can carry a very heavy load physically and mentally, they are willing to be led, but refuse to be pushed, and they are very, very stubborn and are proud of it.With all this in mind, at the end of the German occupation of our Island I painted on canvas what I thought was a fair indication of how we Islanders felt, and so am using it as the cover for my book. The painting was entitled “The Donkey did not Yield”.

"Following the Germans' rapid conquest of France, the occupation of the Channel Islands became inevitable and the British Government provided ample shipping for anybody wanting to leave. Mr. Sauvary did not and he began his diary the day his daughter, Kit, evacuated. Mr. Sauvary was a member of an old Guernsey family. Because of his fourfold role of Builder, Grower, Churchwarden and Douzenier, the diary contains a wealth of his experiences with the occupying forces. The five year narrative gives a day to day description of their gradual encroachment on the life and liberty of the Islanders. He first had them billeted on him and was then turned out of his house. Mr. Sauvary's appreciation of nature and his observations of the wildlife and weather run like a thread through the diary and his observations of human nature give an insight into the Islanders' reactions to the occupation. His wisdom and generosity helped many to come to terms with this daunting experience. The book includes information about the Island's unusual administration and vocabulary"--Publisher's description

True-life recollections from the Channel Islanders who were the only British subjects to live under Nazi rule in WWII. 'An absolutely fascinating account of life under German rule in the Channel Islands during the war. As a Guernsey girl I grew up with these stories and recognise family and friends in these pages. Duncan Barrett has done a brilliant job of reflecting the peculiar challenges that existed for those living under occupation. It is an under-told story of an extraordinary time in recent British history.' - Sarah Montague, The Today Programme presenter. **The new book from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Sugar Girls** In the summer of 1940, Britain stood perilously close to invasion. One by one, the nations of Europe had fallen to the unstoppable German Blitzkrieg, and Hitler's sights were set on the English coast. And yet, following the success of the Battle of Britain, the promised invasion never came. The prospect of German jackboots landing on British soil retreated into the realm of collective nightmares. But the spectre of what might have been is one that has haunted us down the decades, finding expression in counterfactual history and outlandish fictions. What would a British occupation have looked like? The answer lies closer to home than we think, in the experiences of the Channel Islanders - the only British people to bear the full brunt of German Occupation. For five years, our nightmares became their everyday reality. The people of Guernsey, Jersey and Sark got to know the enemy as those on the mainland never could, watching in horror as their towns and villages were suddenly draped in Swastika flags, their cinemas began showing Nazi propaganda films, and Wehrmacht soldiers goose-stepped down their highstreets. Those who resisted the regime, such as the brave men and women who set up underground newspapers or sheltered slave labourers, encountered the full force of Nazi brutality. But in the main, the Channel Islands occupation was a 'model' one, a prototype for how the Fuhrer planned to run mainland Britain. As a result, the stories of the islanders are not all misery and terror. Many, in fact are rather funny - tales of plucky individuals trying to get by in almost impossible circumstances, and keeping their spirits up however they could. Unlike their compatriots on the mainland, the islanders had no Blitz to contend with, but they met the thousand other challenges the war brought with a similar indomitable spirit. The story of the Channel Islands during the war is the history that could so nearly have come to pass for the rest of us. Based on interviews with over a hundred islanders who lived through it, this book tells that story from beginning to end, opening the lid on life in Hitler's British Isles.

After the Dunkirk evacuation the Germans occupied a group of islands in the English Channel of which Guernsey and Jersey are the most famous. This new book goes far beyond all other writing on the Channel Islands during World War II, which have focused almost exclusively on the extensive fortifications built during the German occupation of 1940 to 1945. A controversy has risen in recent years about the degree to which the Islanders cooperated with the Germans, and the nature of the internment camps set up on the Islands. This detailed account is the first to make use of German records and recollections of the years of occupation, and to full depict the nature of day-to-day life for both occupied and occupier. The fascinating text is supplemented by 300 illustrations, which include in their coverage the remarkable fortifications built by the Germans in such a short time.
