Founded 1961

The Occupation Society was formed to study all aspects of the German military occupation of the British Channel Islands during the Second World War. The society organises guided tours, excursions and talks throughout the Islands and France. It also continues to build up an extensive sound, documentary and photographic archive. Practical projects include the restoration of the Naval Signals H.Q. bunker at St. Jacques on the outskirts of St. Peter Port.

New members are always welcome. The flagship publication of the Society is the annual Channel Island Occupation Review, sent free to members. Published alternately by the Guernsey and Jersey branches, it is produced to a high professional standard. All articles are meticulously researched and accompanied by numerous plans and photographs.
