Detailed explanation-2: -A Divided Germany After the Potsdam conference, Germany was divided into four occupied zones: Great Britain in the northwest, France in the southwest, the United States in the south and the Soviet Union in the east.

They would remain there until the end of the War in Europe in May 1945. Hitler believed the Channel Islands might be a ‘stepping stone’ from which to invade Britain.
