First Casualty, The

Synopsis
'The first casualty when war comes is truth ...', and this film shows how British people at home were reluctant to believe the stories of Nazi atrocities, having been fooled once before when World War 1 propaganda turned out to be mostly lies. Illustrated with interviews, contemporary cartoons and rare archive material.
