Hitler Spared Blackpool

During the second world war the Germans knew that soldiers on leave stayed in Blackpool area and that there was even aerospace manufacturing for the Wellingtonm bomber in the area. The area was spared from bombing because Hitler wanted to use the town as his private resort after he´d conquered Britain, according to The Register. Now although Blackpool was the resort for the working communities of East Lancashire and lovely when it´s sunny, and retains a certain Victorian feel, it is distinctively grey when the weather is bad. I don´t know whether he actually visited the place, but one wonders about the quality of German intelligence.
