Churchill’s Last Wartime Secret: The 1943 German Raid on the Isle of Wight Airbrushed from History

Talk by author Adrian Searle

It’s been a State secret for more than 70 years: The official line in the UK has always been that it never happened – but Adrian Searle’s new book challenges the assertion that no German force set foot on British soil during World War Two (the Channel Islands excepted), on active military service.

Churchill’s Last Wartime Secret reveals the remarkable story of a mid-war seaborne enemy raid on an Isle of Wight radar station.
