If Britain Had Fallen: Part 2: Life under the Occupation

BBC One
on BBC One London

by Lord Chalfont

"Able-bodied British males between the ages of 17 and 45 will be deported to Europe.
Anyone attempting acts of violence or sabotage will be condemned to death inexorably.
The rate of exchange is 9.6 Marks to £1."
(German General Staff Directive No 3000/40)

The German occupation of Britain was planned with care. Potential British collaborators were screened, listed, documented - to be ready when the time was ripe. There were comprehensive lists of other Britons to be arrested and probably eliminated by the Nazis.
But for most people life would be a struggle for survival against a background of shortages, deportation, imprisonment, censorship. And distrust.
