Sogar die kinder bomben auf England!

Fascinating – some wartime German childrens games are up for auction.

“The games include Bombers Over England, a form of bagatelle or primitive pinball where players score points for “bombing ” British cities, shipping or lighthouses. Another, based on Snakes and Ladders, sees players take their U-boats from a German port to the Royal Navy base at Scapa Flow, sink British warships, and try and make it back home. Another is a game where players drop weighted paratroopers onto a representation of the English countryside.

The games also include one possibly made in liberated Belgium in late 1944, where players throw crude darts at a board denoting German cities and representations of the Nazi regime. The bullseye is Adolf Hitler”.
