About the film: British Fact and German Fiction
The Imperial War Museum Film and Video Archive
British Fact and German Fiction
Year: 1917
This British film was shot the day after the German air raids on London in the night of the 25th September 1917. With that symbol of unquestioned integrity, a British police officer, authenticating the date of filming, an almost intact city is revealed. While the German press claimed the bombings had destroyed the heart of the British Empire and many of its symbols, British pictures demonstrated such claims to be no more than Germanic fiction.
