Anybody interested in Anglo-German relations or the development of modern propaganda and spin might check out Best of Enemies. Britain and Germany: 100-Years of Truth and Lies by Richard Milton.
On principal I generally avoid any book using the word "Truth" in the title but Milton charts the course of German envy of things British and vice-versa from before WW1 through to the Nuremberg Tribunals.
The author develops a number of ideas where Britain and Germany affected each other ranging from the eugenics movement, propaganda in peace and war, war crimes and a variety of social trends and his conclusions are bound to anger some.
