Cafe de Paris 8th March 1941 #research #bunchcourtneyinvestigations #crimefiction #amwriting

Date to remember: 83 years ago today, at approx 21.45, this fashionable and iconic venue was hit by two 50KG bombs with devastating consequences.

Being subterranean the Cafe was thought to be a safe place but by a freak of fate both devices found their way down to the dance floor via a ventilation shaft, exploding just in front of the band stand.
