 la survie sous l'occupation allemande : les îles anglo-normandes

Malgré son faible nombre de pages, il semble cependant tout indiqué de commencer par : Briggs, Asa. The Channel Islands : Occupation and Liberation, 1940-1945. Londres : Batsford, 1995, qui, outre une iconographie remarquable, propose une copieuse bibliographie commentée. La même année est paru, plus ambitieux par son volume : Bunting, Madeleine. The Model Occupation : The Channel Islands under German Rule, 1940-45. Londres : HarperCollins, 1995. L'auteur y critique la vision complaisante du "classique", officiellement commandité par les collectivités locales des Iles : Cruikshank, Charles. The German Occupation of the Channel Islands. Londres : Alan Sutton, 1975 [Réédition brochée illustrée, 1993]. Signalons également l'existence d'une bibliographie mise à jour jusqu'à 1975 : Antill, J.K. A Bibliography of the German Occupation of Jersey and Other Channel Islands. Jersey : States Greffe, 1975.
