    I lived in Guernsey in the eighties and met many people who told their stories of the second world war occupation. Some harrowing tales were told and when you go to the places like, the underground hospital and the coastal bunkers, you get a sense of how it was like for the vulnerable islanders. Great place to put on your bucket list for a visit.
