Hitler’s towering ambition for Blackpool
BLACKPOOL -Adolf Hitler may have blitzed much of Britain’s heritage but the popular UK seaside resort of Blackpool was spared because he wanted it as a personal playground after the war, new documents suggest.
The UK’s Daily Telegraph reports the Fuhrer dreamed of his troops goose-stepping down the Golden Mile and unfurling the Swastika on top of Blackpool Tower, it was revealed.
His invasion plans of Great Britain included making the Lancashire resort a headquarters for his paratroopers and also a “playground” for him and his men.
The plan explains why Blackpool escaped almost unscathed from the Luftwaffe’s bombing blitz despite the fact the RAF built hundreds of Wellington bombers in the town and thousands of troops went on leave there.
German intelligence maps recovered from a military base clearly reveal how Hitler had earmarked the safety of Blackpool Tower and the town’s three piers.
