Debunking Hitler’s Seaside Playground

Debunking Hitler’s Seaside Playground

Compared to other towns, Blackpool escaped heavy bombing during the Second World War. But, did Adolf Hitler really spare Blackpool from air raids so that he could turn the resort into his own personal playground?

In this talk Dr. Tom Carter will examine the evidence behind this popular wartime story and discuss Blackpool’s experiences of air raids.
