Zusammenfassung:The internment of 'enemy aliens' by the British government in two world wars remains largely hidden from history. British historians have treated the subject - if at all - as a mere footnote to the main narrative of Britain at war. In the 'Great War', Britain interned some 30,000 German nationals, most of whom had been long-term residents.

In May 1940, under the threat of imminent invasion, the British government interned some 28,000 Germans an.
