a swiss attempt to get an exchange of injured soldiers and civilians resulted in hitler being reminded of the british civilians. discovering that his orders had not been complied with, he reissued the order. in the islands, everything moved very quickly. the order arrived in jersey on 15 september, the same day a meeting was held with the bailiff and parish officials, and a notice appeared in the local paper. because the island authorities refused to serve the notices, soldiers required parish officials to show them where to go, and served the deportation orders on the first batch of people that evening.
