So It Was: One Man's Story of the German Occupation of Jersey from boyhood to manhood 1940-1945

Richard Weithley was a boy of fourteen when the German Occupation of the Channel Islands began in 1940 - and a young man of nineteen when it finished in 1945. Like many of those living through the period, it is something that he will never forget.

This book is an enchanting tale of excitement, humour, romance and intrigue. What started as teenage bravado against the Nazi 'authorities' soon turned into life threatening situations and ended with a dramatic escape from a German military prison.

A fascinating account of how the author was forced to grow up under the shadow of the swastika, told with a refreshingly original approach.

This is one man's stunning account of the German Occupation during WWII as he recalls the most significant period in recent Channel Island history.
