Re: Luftwaffe raid on London 7th November 1943

Since my last post on the subject some years ago I have been told that the raid on 7th November 1943 which hit the Cinderella Dance Club at 35, Putney High Street (which extended over the shops on the corner of Putney Bridge Road) was carried out by a single aircraft that dropped a 500lb bomb at 21.00 hours. Would that help identify the Luftwaffe unit involved?

There where 81 people killed (including my uncle), mainly youngsters and 248 seriously injured (a small number of people were killed and injured in the High Street and Putney Bridge Road), making it one of the worst of the war.
