Issue of the newspaper The Star, no. 44, CIXXIX. Guernsey, an island in the English Channel. April 10, 1943.
The front page features an article on the growing influence of Jews in the British government: "Jews Fasten Their Tentacles on Britain", a pseudo-historical survey of the Jewish invasion of British nobility, alongside an article presenting Germany's contribution to world culture.
Guernsey is situated in the English Channel, near the French coast. It is part of the territories of the Crown Dependency and is not part of the United Kingdom. It has no representation in the British parliament, but its foreign and security affairs are managed by Britain. During World War II the islands in the English Channel, including Guernsey, were under German Nazi occupation. Some of the islands' residents were transferred to German concentration camps, and a forced-labor camp was built on the island of Alderney.
"The Star", first printed in 1813, was one of the two newspapers printed on the island during the German occupation. The Germans imposed a harsh censorial regime on the newspaper editorial boards, eventually turning "The Star" into a mouthpiece of their regime. The newspaper's distribution dwindled during the later war years due to a lack of printing resources.
