British View of the Conditions at Ruhleben

Notes:

In this "London Chronicle" cartoon, two German children ask their rotund grandmother if they could visit the prison camp at Ruhleben to watch the interned British civilians starve, if they behaved themselves. The British government accused the Germans of maintaining cruel conditions in the internment camp, including inadequate dietary rations.
