Gott strafe England

British soldiers and French civilians next to the slogan painted on a wall, 1 January 1918. The slogan was graffitied onto the wall by German troops.

Gott strafe England (lit. 'May God punish England') was an anti-British slogan coined by German poet Ernst Lissauer in 1917 during World War I. The slogan immediately gained widespread popularity in the German Empire, which had been at war with Britain since 1914, and was widely reproduced in Germany's popular culture. The Imperial German Army also adopted the slogan as a motto for its soldiers.[1]
