Shops with German connections are looted by angry rioters during World War I.

Show full synopsis

Anti-German feeling in Britain was fuelled by atrocity stories and by the results of Zeppelin raids on the English coast. Here Topical shows the aftermath of attacks made on German-associated shops in London, with the police looking on as looting takes place.
