Day They Shelled Scarborough - British Film Institute (19 Minutes)
This is a fine documentary on what some have claimed to have been the first example of ‘total war’, with civilian casualties, as Germany brought the war to Britain in December 1914. Presented by Austin Mitchell, the documentary has rarely seen cine film taken at the time showing the damage caused by the shelling of Scarborough by German battle-cruisers, and interviews with people who were there at the time.
