About this product

Product Information

This fictional tale is infused with a heavy dose of reality. Based on the experiences of the occupants who resided on the Channel Islands in 1940, ISLAND AT WAR offers a very real snapshot of what life could have been like if the Nazi threat had been successful. The Channel Islands were the only part of Britain to be occupied by the German army during the battle, with the residents having to undergo a horrendous five year ordeal at the hands of the Nazi's. ISLAND AT WAR draws on the experiences of the islanders, and spins a tale packed full of violence, romance, and incredible tension. Originally shown on Masterpiece Theater, this is a unique depiction of World War II that should have equal appeal to historians and television drama fans alike.

Excellent! Well-acted and historically fascinating.
Island At War is an excellent PBS series that is both historically informative and shows the effect that war and invasion can have on people. The characters are very engaging and the series effectively captures the look and feel of that time. I really enjoyed it very much!

BBC at its Best!
Island at War is an excellent fictional account of what everyday life and love was like on the Channel Islands during the German occupation which lasted throughout most of World War 2. One can count on the usual amount of military action, but this mini-series probes deeply into the lives of the British Subjects functioning under German rule. The details extend from the shop keeper sleeping with her German soldier supplier, to the young spy who happens to be the son of a local Island official. All in all a wonderful piece of work in which the reality of war is brought home, not just as a matter of horrific violence, but also the reality of survival and accommodation with an overwhelming force. One may surprised to see the human face of the German military as well as their chivalrous ...

One may surprised to see the human face of the German military as well as their chivalrous side when dealing with people they regarded as their "racial" equals. You may well find this quite an enlightening experience in more ways than one.

Germans on the Channel Islands~ Very GOOD~
PLOT: Germans take over the FICTIONAL CHANNEL Island of St. Gregory (aka) Jersey & Gurnsey Islands taken over by the Germans during World War 2~ 1940 and with the massive evacuation of Jews and Locals from the Channel Island of St. Gregory (fictional name for Jersey Island) before the Germans arrive~ soon the Germans roll in with little stuggle since there was no battle for it~ story focus on several local families. Shot on the isle of Mann the scenery is lovely~ locals are soon hiding 2 local soldiers who came back to obtain war info for England. Soon one is killed by the Germans as a spy and one is hiding right under the local German nose, a Jewish girl with very blonde AND AYRAN LOOKS~ soon is being pursued by a German is very attracted to her~ but is also busy hunting down the few ...

The Germans are made more human with their interaction with the locals~ the writers must have been real woman haters because the local woman all very excellent characters all do a sudden turn around and whore for the Germans for one reason or another~ leaves the entire plot and ending sadly lacking~ I GIVE IT A 3 OUT OF 5 FOR EXCELLENT SCENERY~ VERY GOOD ACTING BUT THE ONLY THING LACKING IS A GOOD PLOT~ IF YOU FOUND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE~

Buy it.
The drama and acting are as good as it gets. Very engaging stories of what a German occupation really meant. Some of the Germans are great people you would love to know in a setting without the war.

A Brilliant Series!
One of the best WWII dramas I've seen. Characters are completely fleshed out and varied, story line is super engaging and it hooks you right from the beginning of the first episode. This is brilliant drama, and they don't come around very often.
