The National Archives has been criticised for warning readers about Winston Churchill’s use of the term “Huns” to describe the Germans.
Research by the government’s official archive publisher highlighted the word used by the Second World War leader. It deemed the term Huns “derogatory” and said it “obviously” needs to be seen in historical context.
Education campaigners have described the move as “barmy”, however, and said that adding “trigger warnings” to “common historical terms” was unnecessary.
