Question

WW2 Question : Did the occupation of Jersey put Britain into a high threat level?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Nope, and here's why:

The Channel Islands were actually demilitarized by Britain prior to the German invasion. They simply didn't see them as a strategic position, so they technically gave them up without a fight and tried evacuating anyone who wanted to leave. The Germans didn't know this, however, and invaded in force a few days later.

That didn't put England into a "high threat level" since they had already decided to pull back from the islands anyway. To the Germans, though, it was a propaganda victory because of their "occupation" of British soil.
