Little Britain in Berlin

First I'd heard of those Brits who were interned in Germany during WWI and decided to make the most of their situation...

Quote:

When thousands of British men were interned in Germany at the start of World War One, they rolled up their sleeves and made the best of it. In their prison camp on the River Spree in Berlin, they built a Little Britain - using the barbed wire as a trellis on which a thousand flowers bloomed.

Of course it would be totally different at the commencement of WWII but that would be down to the ruling regime of the time.
