Their words, drawn from diaries, memoirs and letters from the occupiers and the occupied, are brought to life by actors for the first time in this series.<\/p>\n<p>The invasion of the Channel Islands was a propaganda coup for Hitler, who began building a campaign to transform them into a fortress. What started as a \u201cmodel\u201d occupation became a full-blown rollout of Nazism, with persecution, antisemitic orders, informants, mass deportations, starvation and slave labor camps. There was no official investigation into the occupation.<\/p>\n<p>Historians Gilly Carr and Louise Willmot provide their meticulous research into the period in the series.<\/p>\n<p><em>Britain Under the Nazis<\/em> is being directed and filmed by Jack Warrender. Executive producers are Alicia Kerr and Morgan Matthews, and Tim Dunn is series producer.
