Blackpool: Hitlers playground?

[Woolgar]

I am a hotelier in Blackpool (for my sins) and I have been researching wartime hotels in the town.

I came across this amusing article from the Daily Mail in 2009

KEITH WATERHOUSE: If Hitler had got to the Golden Mile | Mail Online

Also a nice little article about the Polish troops in a Blackpool guest house

BBC - WW2 People's War - A Wartime Holiday: In Blackpool

It would be amusing to see Hitler riding down the beach on a donkey.

I believe Nick has a chain of hotels situated in both cities in order to finance his vast collection of WWII items (Im starting a rumour here!)
