Movie: "Island at War" (2004)
“Set during the occupation of the Channel Islands during World War II. The story shows how Island life changed overnight after a German invasion. Islanders were restricted to walking and cycling, town names were changed to German names, clocks were set to continental time, and no society could meet without the permission of German High Command. The focus is on three families, the Dorrs, the Jonases and the Mahys, as they struggle on with day to day life under the restrictive new system. Written by Anonymous”

Goofs: Factual errors: The airman Bernhart, when talking with the new proprietors of the Isaak’s photographic shop complains that if he is seen going into the (Jewish) shop, he would be posted to the eastern front. The eastern front, as the war with the Soviet Union came to be generally known (as an unpleasant and dangerous theatre to be posted to), did not exist until the following summer, with Operation Barbarossa.
