Step back to May 1945, when Jersey was liberated after five years of German Occupation
This was the moment when Force 135 came to the Island, tasked with the monumental job of returning Jersey to civilian life, demilitarising the Island, and beginning the rebuilding process after years of wartime hardship.
Join the lads of the Force 135 Living History Group and immerse yourself in the lives of those who lived through this challenging time. Hear stories of what it was like to be part of the Liberation effort, and the complex and emotional tasks they faced as they worked to rebuild a broken island.
