Egad !
Adolf was one of the knotted hanky types who wanted "kiss me quick" hats and shorts with plastic buttocks on the back ?
Thank god we won.
How long before some yank claims national credit for saving us from this fate? ;o)
Hitler ordered Luftwaffe to spare Blackpool
The reason Hitler didn't do the decent thing and order his Luftwaffe to reduce Blackpool to smouldering rubble has now been revealed: The Fuhrer wanted the resort as his "personal playground", as the Daily Mail puts it. Adolf's chilling plan to watch triumphant troops goosestep down the Golden Mile before hoisting a swastika …

I can see the souvenirs now...
"Kiss me qvick - or I vil have you shot!"
Everybody loves Blackpool
It wasn't just Hitler, Soviet Russia intended to invade via Blackpool as well. It turns out the Golden Mile is just what's needed for a sea-bourne assault and all those B&B would be ideal for garrisoning the invading soldiers.
Frankly I think they're all welcome to it.
paris?
so Hitler wanted to destroy the Parisien bridges, but spare Blackpool? He was way more unhinged than we thought!
Paris, cos if he'd destroyed her, he might have redeemed himself somewhat.
The end of his last supporters
Well this will be the final blow to all those out there who were in two minds about Hitler - good/evil.
Bah
Blackpool is probably the one place in this country I could quite happily see bombed.
Schwarzelache
So, these plans. Will they be serialised in The Times like Hitler's Diaries?
Paris, I bet she'd like a donkey ride.
The Golden Mile
The reason it's called the Golden Mile is because it's streaming with piss!
Blimey!
I can only assume this was at a time before they started pumping raw sewage into the sea, and started building row-upon-row or oh so delightful trinket shops? I can how it could work though - the place is like a concentration camp anyway.
And to all those people from Blackpool who are going to complain - It's a dump. Accept it.
If only they'd flattened it
....as the home of the All Day English Breakfast that has spread like a virus across continents, I feel we must blame someone!
Mine's the goose-stepping jacket with inbuilt bratwurst holder!

"Blackpool is probably the one place in this country I could quite happily see bombed"
erm, Cardiff?
It's possible-
I seem to remember reading somewhere that Mr H was a fan of the English seaside saucy postcards.
Brighton - surely
I cannot believe that Monty Python got it wrong when they had Hitler retired in Brighton and not Blackpool.
@Mark_T
Of course not. Everyone knows it was the Soviets who really won the war. (G,R&D)
@Maverick
Cardiff has some way to go before it plumbs the same depths as Slough...
Or Wolverhampton. Jumped up dump of a town pretentiously calling itself a City when it doesn't even have a cathedral! OK, so the church where the Wolves started out is nice enough, but a cathedral it isn't...
Daily Mail
Anyone else notice how the Daily Mail paints Hitler as almost eccentric and cuddly?
While I'm here:
Q: Does anyone know how to confuse a Daily Mail reader?
A: Tell them immigrants kill paedophiles!
The horrible consequence
Coming soon to the West End - "Summertime for Hitler"
@Damn Yank
Yeah right. The way these Brits go on it sounds like they won the war. Dunkirk spirit, you can keep it.
Seaside/Seig Heil... masterful
What an excellent strap line. Well done Lester.

"Blackpool is probably the one place in this country I could quite happily see bombed"
id see anywhere below Watford happily slide into the sea :-) luckily thanks to the rebound after the last ice age its happening mwuahahhaaa
@Pinkeron
"Q: Does anyone know how to confuse a Daily Mail reader?

Coming over here, taking our jobs...
Mammoth Playmobil opportunity?
Go on - let the imagination run amok.
That Hitler eh!
Must be top ten in Daily Mail favourite headline words.
In all seriousness, Lest we forget...
@ Jesthar
OK, I'll see your Wolverhampton and raise you a Norwich
Apparently he wanted Rochdale town hall...
...taken apart and shipped back to Germany. as well. He was a closet pie-eater basically.
Blackpool isn't irredeemably shit, it just attracts a lot of people who think they can behave like arseholes just because it's Blackpool. You could say that about anywhere where they allow lots of British people to get horribly drunk.
Seaside for Hitler, and Germany
If Goebbels had opened up a greasy spoon on the promenade, he'd have called it
"The Master Taste"
(Coat, hat, leaving.)
Seaside landladies
Are you sure they would have fought on our side?
No noise, no coming back late, regulation breakfasts, no running baths outside of hours - sounds like a bunch of fascistic fifth columnists to me.
Hitler gets blamed for a lot of things...
Almost all of them justified, But I never knew that blackpool being such a sh!thole was one of them.
Maybe mulitple 1000lb, air dropped regeneration projects are needed there now more than ever.
Oh who do you think you're kidding Mr Hilter...
Obviously the cnut never went there.
But I started thinking, there's that whole range of Hitler spoofs on YouTube like this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXnt8_okeRA
Maybe someone could create a new one with Blackpool as the theme....
B&B in Blackpool
Having been on holiday there once, I think Hitler would have been entirely at home in Blackpool. Very good idea of his to settle there, though he may have found the views of some of the B&B proprietors a bit extreme
@Daily Mail
It is not surprising that the Mail paints Hitler as "almost eccentric and cuddly"; they supported Hitler right up until the 1938 invasion of Prague by the Nazis. Rothermire (the owner) expressing the hope that 'Adolf the Great' would become a popular figure in Britain, (from Wikipedia) and wrote an article entitled: "Hurrah for the Blackshirts," in January, 1934.
Daily Mail
He was just a big softy really. Misunderstood. Unfair persecution of a probably daily mail reader by the nasty guardianistas.
Steven says
"In the seaside town
...that they forgot to bomb
Come, Come, Come - nuclear bomb"
Oh we do like to be beside the Sieg Heil!
Love it. Can I come and work with you lot? It would make my days everso more interesting.
I'm good at making tea and everything... I'll even buy the biscuits. My only demand would be that you seat me well away from that "Ms Bee" as she's just a bit odd and I wouldn't want, by process of osmosis - to catch whatever mental disease she has.
Thanks.
Re: Oh we do like to be beside the Sieg Heil!
Balls to you, apostrophe deficit boy, I wrote that subhead.
We'll have some of those Fox's crinkle crunch jobbies, and you may sit in the corner. The corner of the basement. And don't spill the tea coming up the seven flights of stairs.
Inverse Godwins Law
First one to mention the Daily Mail loses.
Perhaps...
It could explain why the owners of Blackpool pleasure beach tried to call a new coaster 'The Zyklon Loop' a few years ago...
Oh, Ms Bee, most disappointed,although I can see the attraction of Fox's crinkle thingies I had you down as a chocolate hob nob kind of girl.
Paris, I bet she likes a hobnob with her cuppa.
Bah
I can see it now: Post invasion Blackpool thrills to the latest illuminated tram in the shape of a Tiger Ausf E.
Just about on topic
Took a while to find 'cause I thought it was a Mike Harding sketch

@SB: Lambasting misogyny is one thing, but having a crack at someone's mispunctuation just isn't funny. Period.
Re: Oh we do like to be beside the Sieg Heil!
And you give very good subhead too, Ms Bee. Sehr gut. I, for one, celebrate the Register as an environment where punerasts and double-entendrists are permitted, nay encouraged, to express themselves without shame and free from the discrimination and abuse they suffer in the rest of society.
I can't help thinking that a donkey ride on the beach might have seemed a bit tame after waging blitzkrieg across Europe.
Worst town in Britain?
Oh do shut up. The worst bit of Britain is that bit where Brits have gathered in any numbers to live. The rest is OK. I was always happiest sitting on top of Bleaklow with not a human being anywhere in sight.
England has the coolest names...
For our wastelands, we only have boring names like Surrey, East Hastings, and Ottawa.
There were a few places he wanted
Willow Hall near Peterborough was another one reportedly.
surrey
Don't fancy visiting surrey in England or Vancouver - even worse they both have a Guildford
Though I suppose the chance of being shot in the Vancouver version is slightly higher at the moment
@Geoffrey W
>Oh do shut up. The worst bit of Britain is that bit where Brits have gathered in any numbers to live
Hell is other people ?
Have to agree a little tho, peace is only attained at 11pm on a summers evening above 2000ft in the Lake district mountains in my case. If only I could ship the bloody noisy sheep off to Blackpool where they belong ....
