The Baby Killers
Réalisé par Mick Child51minDocumentaire
On the morning of 16th December 1914, the towns of Hartlepool, Whitby, and Scarborough were bombed by German battleships from the North Sea. The bombardments caused hundreds of civilian casualties and resulted in public outrage in Britain against the German Navy for the raid and the Royal Navy for failing to prevent it. It was the first attack of World War One on British soil. This documentary explores exactly what happened on that fateful morning, it explains why Winston Churchill referred to the Germans as "the baby killers of Scarborough", seemingly overlooking Hartlepool and Whitby, and it shows what the government spin doctors did to save face and benefit from the atrocity. The Baby Killers - The 1914 Bombardment of Hartlepool, Whitby and Scarborough has been produced in partnership with TVIFF, Eden Camp in Malton, and Heugh Battery in Hartlepool.
