Dyr, 1910, Walt Disney Productina
In the first four chapters of his narrative, Fred Hockey, the St Peter Port harbour sign- aller, described how the Germans took possession of the Channel Islands after the He con- British forces decided to evacuate. tinues his eye-witness account of the occupa- tion in the following chapter. The story is recorded by
******** DUDLEY BARKER-
"Socialism
For Channel Islanders
O prove that things would The better and happier
under Itler's New Order, the Germans gave the Channel Islands "Socialism" after they had been in occupation for a fortnight.
The German harbour master in Guernsey told Fred Hockey (and Fred Hockey, the har- bour algnaller who afterwards escaped to England, told me) that Hitler's Idea was that there should be no rich or poor, and all men would be equal-except, of course, the Germans.
So it was duly announced in the Guernsey newspapers that henceforward all businesses would belong to the States of Guernsey (which, in turn, of course, though this was not emphasised, temporarily be. longed to Germany).
It was not exactly compul- sory to hand your business over to the States.
But if you did not, there was nobody in Guernsey who could afford any longer to buy your produce, you could not export it, and you could not draw enough money to pay your employees even if you had it in the bank.
So there was not much choico about it.
"For a week later," said Fred Hockey, "all wages on the island were regulated, too,
Fixed Wages
"It was announced that every single man who was em ployed-and the Germans saw to it that they were employed if only in forced labour on the airport would draw 30s. a week from the States.
"Married men would get 385. a week, with 18. extra for each child up to the number of five, and 6d, extra for each child over that number.
"Foremen and people who previously owned their busi- nesses received 2s, a week extra, and people with depen- dent relatives also got a bit more. For instance, my total came to £2 a week because I was a married man and had my daughter to support, al- though she was adult.
"It's surprising how quick- ly you can put that sort of. organisation into force, pro- viding nobody is allowed to express any opinion about It, and nobody is allowed to argue. They had it running in Guernsey in a few days,
Bank Control "They appointed overseers for onch district to go round and make sure that everybody was working properly.
"Then they set up local court officials. In the school- rooms in each parish to pay out the Government wages, which were collected cach week by the foreman and owners of businesses, 1
"People of
independent
means, were no better off, be- cause, no matter how much they had in the bank, they were not allowed to draw out more than their 30s, or 388. cach week, although they did not have to do any work.
"That was why no man could carry on his private business-he could not get the money to pay his expenses. And the Germans, of course, wanted all businesses to be handed over to the States, so that they themselves could control them.
"Most of the Guernsey busi- nesses were glasshouses for growing tomatoes or grapes. The Germans made the grow- ers turn a lot of them over to other crops, particularly maize and beans. It was thought that they wanted the seed to send to Germany, for next year's sowing.
Taken In
"Now this idea of every- body having an equal income, even if it was rather a small income, sounded all right in theory, and some of the more ignorant people got taken in by it at first, I heard several of them say 80, in the 'pubs* and sitting on the sea wall of an evening.
"But even those people soon began to realise that thingy did not work out quite the way they thought they would- everybody working, everybody equal, everybody happy, and
so on.
"To start with, the trades- people soon discovered that everybody in the island did not have an equal income. The Germans had much more than anybody else.
Now, I can't explain to you exactly how that was worked, because I've been just an or- dinary sailor all my life, and I don't understand
much about exchange rates, and things like that.
"But this is what happened, "The Guernsey people were paid in Guernsey money—----- that is, the same as English
money.
"At the same time the Ger- mans flooded the island. with German money. First of all It was marks they brought from Germany, but a week or two later they started print- ing them in Guernsey itself.
