German War Pictures Private London Exhibition Shock Waves
A London observer reports on a private exhibition of German war photographs shown to influential figures, including ambassadors and journalists. The film, meant to educate and sway opinion, will not be publicly shown in Britain, and its makers seek vast profits if released. The Kaiser appears vigorous in portraits, while Germany plans spring offensives and defends against Allied pressure. The piece mixes military theory with camp anecdotes from Kitchener’s army and notes French offensives at Soissons and the Argonne amid ongoing trench warfare.
