Pretty good movie about a fictional Nazi occupation of Britain.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Yes, I did. There are couple movies made about this.

[EvilCapitalist]

I’ve seen Triple Cross. Good movie.

[Bringbackthedraft]

I wonder if all the cows survived???

[cuban leaf]

They made a drama about it back around six or seven years ago. Great movie:

Also an alternative-history miniseries from 1978 about a Nazi win in the UK; An Englishman’s Castle.

Beat me to it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289403/

We saw it when it first hit streaming. A very pleasant surprise. Loved it!

[rktman]

Sounds right.

[MotorCityBuck]

Yep.
Some Channel Islands.

[Bobbyvotes]

And now 10% of UK is under muzzie control.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Considering what England has become, what the hell is the difference?

The nazis were probably nicer than the college-age hamas protesters today.

[Vigilanteman]

Cool factoid. Didn’t know that.

[Cronos]

I really liked that movie

[DAC21]

Island at War (2004) I started watching this a couple years back, didn’t finish as the Wife was less interested. I need to give it another go if I can find it streaming.

[mass55th]

Great response!!

[ABStrauss]

YES

It’s been portrayed on TV for 60 years.

[Blue Highway]

Been to the Channel Islands near Santa Barbara.

[T-Bird45]

“Yes, “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society””

It is also an enjoyable read or audiobook.

[Flash Bazbeaux]

Yes, I did. About ten years ago I came across a book called “Agent Zig-Zag”, about Eddie Chapman, a British crook/con artist who became a spy for the Nazis, but became a double agent. I did not remember him being in the Channel Islands, though.

About a year ago I started watching a movie, “Triple Cross”, starring Christopher Plummer, which I realized was the same story, or a version of it. The movie starts with Chapman being captured by British police on one of the Channel Islands, just before the Nazi occupation. They spring him from jail and start training him as a spy. This was the first time I realized that the Channel Islands had been occupied.

The movie started rather slowly, and I did not stick with it once I figured out I’d read about it before.
