The German invasion of the Channel Islands commences, and the leaders of the occupation forces land by air in Guernsey.
A Committee had been organised to run the island during the occupation, and they meet the Germans in charge of the islands Administration.
The Chief German Administrator Major Richter is told that the British Government, has declared the island to be a demilitarised zone.
Major Richter tried to claim that this matter was not clearly enough stated, as the German officer responsible had no knowledge of it?
Major Richter further claimed, that the British Prime Minister had declared war on Germany. And that was why the Germans had to invade the island, he put the blame for everything at the door of the British Government.
Major Richter even tried to divert more blame from the Occupiers, by saying that the Demilitarised Notice could have been expressed via Neuteral Powers like Switzerland or the USA.
Two of the islanders decided to make the desperate effort to reach the British mainland by boat, mistakenly believing that this was the best chance of getting away.
