    It’s been 80 years since the tiny island of Guernsey was released from German occupation. Its annual Liberation Day parade and cavalcade is held on May 9 every year – that is uniquely one day later than that of the United Kingdom and Europe itself, which celebrate VE Day on May 8. In 1945, the German Army was still in control of the Channel Islands group, including Jersey, Herm, Sark, Alderney and several smaller outer islands.

    A museum housing the Führer‘s desk, which was taken from the Reichskanzlei in 1945, has had to close to the public because of a leaking roof and other structural issues.

The main barracks located behind were built 10 years before, in the 1860s.
