A little-known story of wartime resilience. Hear the stories of the last remaining Guernsey deportees. 80 years ago a group of Channel islanders were forced to abandon their homes during WW2, and were sent on Hitler’s orders to Biberach interment camp. Ollie Guillou speaks to his Grandma about the 3 long years she spent in the camp. He’s also joined by three other deportees and two historians, who help chart the life-altering journey these Guernsey people went on, all those years ago.

**This is a bonus episode. If you've not tuned in before, I recommend you start at ⁠Episode 1⁠**

⚡ Island At War is a podcast dedicated to Guernsey’s occupation history. And the two men behind the show have chosen a fascinating way of telling the story - going month by month through the wartime years, making this an incredibly comprehensive listen.

💡 In this special bonus episode of the podcast we meet Keith Pengelley and Nick Le Huray, who’ve dedicated an incredible amount of time to uncovering what happened to islanders during World War 2. Hear some of the stories from that podcast that have stuck with them the most.

🔎 Nick writes a blog about the occupation and is finishing up a book about escapes from the Channel Islands. And Keith is a qualified tour guide - you can find his series of talks here: guernseywalkingtours.com
