The Whitewash
The series would have you believe that only 1 German for every 500,000 believed in Adolph Hitler. The other 499,999 Germans were not only good people, but saints. In contrast, the British Islanders were spoiled brats who thrived on their false patriotism. Watching this series one would never know that Auschwitz existed. More to the point, one would never know that the British Islanders helped the Germans ferret out the local English Jewish population. Nevertheless, in this delusional fairy tale the actual stories are quite good. But never has the line between fiction and nonfiction been thicker. What is most remarkable is that this is a British production and it was after all the English civilian population who suffered so much during the Blitz.

Exceptional series
This series will capture your interest and transport you back to WWII. The only downside is that the series was cancelled before the story progressed to the end of the war. I've watched Series I and II twice now in the month that I have had them and really want the series to continue!

a small piece of history
This series was on BBC television years ago and although the DVD quality isn't as good as productions made today, it is a well told story of how the UK Channel Islanders survived during the German occupation in WW2. You will get caught up with the characters and find yourself wanting to watch all segments in just a few stretches, so it is good to buy both season one and season two at the same time. Alas, the series was cancelled before it reached the end of the war and I found myself wanting to see more. If you have visited the Channel Islands and seen the artifacts left by the Germans during the occupation then you need to watch these shows. I'm glad I have it in my collection of WW2 stories.
