The Enemy Within: Germans in Britain 1914-1918, Tim Lynch
When war broke out, thousands of German subjects - many who had never set foot in Germany - found themselves trapped in Britain and targeted as 'enemy aliens'. From the spy scares of 1914 to the Internment Camps in Britain and Germany, this presentation tells the story of those who found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
