Overview
David Lloyd George tours Germany, escorted by Nazi government officials, while his chauffeurs lark about with an SS Officer. Lloyd George was pro-German from the mid-1920s, and met Adolf Hitler in 1936. However, by 1938 he had become a leading opponent of appeasement with Germany. This film is believed to have been shot by George Ryder, Lloyd George's chauffeur.
Another film of Lloyd George on a visit to Germany in 1936, Visit of the Rt. Hon. D. Lloyd George, OM, MP to Germany, September 2nd-26th, 1936, is also available on BFI Player.
