Germans in Britain resources
We created some education resources to accompany our Germans in Britain exhibition, primarily for Modern Foreign Languages teachers.
There is a ‘Germans in Britain’ Quiz and ‘Germans in Britain’ Quiz Answers Resource. The first part of the quiz tests pupils’ knowledge of Germany and the second part explores Anglo-German relations.
