Rare Nazi-era boardgame

[Foxbat]

Thought this was interesting.
Nazi board game where children had to lead German forces to victory

It is really odd that the Nazi's focused on Scarborough. Then again, it is a lovely seaside resort - perhaps they wanted a pleasant day out when they'd finished Operation Sealion?

Couldn't go to Whitby. Dracula would've given them a thrashing.

Yes it is strange. Presumably they thought all resistance would have crumbled by the time they got that far north.
Haven't they heard of The Glasgow Kiss or The Severe Malky?
We Scots would have been yelling Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!

Foxbat, reminds me of one (of a collection) of the anecdotes in How Britain Kept Calm And Carried On. There was some bad news or ambiguous message or other, and one Scotsman turned to another and said [roughly]:

Bugger. This is going to be a long war if the English have pulled out.

Realistically , Operation Sealion was never happening for a number of reasons.
