Nazi Board Games for Sale

Here’s a piece of history.

A collection of Nazi era board games - including one where players are given points for bombing British cities - are going on auction in the UK this week.

The rare trove of wartime board games also includes a version of Snakes and Ladders based on the exploits of U-boat captain Gunther Prien.

The games are thought to have come from a German collector. They will be sold at Mullock’s Shropshire on Thursday.
