The only part of the British Isles to be invaded and occupied in World War II were the holiday islands of Jersey, Alderney, Guernsey and Sark. Left undefended in 1940, they fell into German hands. Thereafter they were turned into the most heavily defended parts of the Atlantikwall, with massive fortifications, gun emplacements and underground storage tunnels. An army of foreign "slave workers" was brought in as well as 27,000 German troops.
