Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The Spanish Republican exodus in 1939-1940, first from Spain and then from France, was remarkably diverse. Some left for Russia; others for Latin America, but in 1940 over 10,000 of those in France found themselves in Nazi hands. They were sent not only to SS camps in Germany but also to work on the Atlantic Wall, which encompassed the Channel Islands. Among the Islands, Alderney was special since its population had been evacuated to England and the deserted island became the site of the only SS camps to be erected on British soil. Among the prisoners sent there were an estimated 4,000 Spaniards, who shared the sufferings of the Jews and other enemies of the Reich.
