These pictures show the first uniformed German soldiers to visit Jersey since it was occupied by the Nazis.

A group from the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, comprised of German and British soldiers, spent two weeks on Guernsey cleaning a military cemetery.

The men, in full military regalia, were greeted with curiosity and kindness - despite the occupation still being fresh in the minds of many residents.
