And, from a different article,  "

The Channel Islands, an archipelago off the northern coast of France, were the only British land that was successfully occupied by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. It’s little known that one of these quiet islands, Alderney, became home to several labor camps and two concentration camps, one of which was called Sylt or Lager Sylt. Although the UK government carried out an official post-war investigation into the horrors that occurred here, many suspected the contents were watered down in a report released to the public in an attempt to quash hearsay about a “concentration camp on British soil.”

To unearth the truth, archaeologists from Staffordshire University in the UK have recently used an arsenal of non-invasive methods to study the site and experiences of the people imprisoned here. Reporting in the journal Antiquity, the team used geophysical surveys and LiDAR, as well as declassified aerial reconnaissance photos and written historic accounts, to create a detailed map of Sylt over the course of the Second World War."

we had internment camps for our own citizens and POW camps scattered all over the country , a lot of germans stayed after the war - not sure why our citizens didnt leave after - im ashamed of the internments and comfortable with the POWs after meeting a number from both over my lifetime , 

but then again , we [i] did not live in the times , 

 

as an aside we have many among us that might have encouraged the same for our neighbors over this last years stupidity dealing with the health situation and id have been rebellious over that - i may still get there based on the stupidity of some that are way to 'left' for me , im really getting tired of the nazi tactics of the socialists here  recently ,

Are the Channel Islands "British soil"? I think, without looking again, that there is a question about that as to some, at least.

 

British protectorate,  I think.
