Battle for Jersey

The Battle for Jersey was a series of intense confrontations during World War II in 1944, when Nazi Germany occupied the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands. This period involved Allied efforts to liberate the island from German control, which included strategic planning and military operations. The liberation was significant for restoring British sovereignty and ending occupation. The events are remembered for the resilience of the island’s residents and the coordinated efforts of Allied forces to retake Jersey without widespread destruction, culminating in the island’s liberation in May 1945.
