NAZIS' EXPLODING CHOCOLATE 'FOILED!'

                  Churchill Assassination Plot Foiled !
     The Nazis plotted to kill Sir Winston Chuchill with a bar of chocolate , a wartime letter has revealed.


          Adolf Hitler's bomb makers coated explosive devices with a thin layer of dark chocolate, then packaged them in expensive-looking black and gold paper.They apparently planned to use secret agents to place the bars, branded as Peter's Chocolate, among items taken into the room used by the war Cabinet for meetings.These bar's of chocolate had enough explosives to kill anyone within a few yards.

        The plot was foiled by British was foiled by British spies who discovered the the chocolate was being made and tipped off the MI5's most senior intelligence chief, Victor Rothschild.

        Lord Rothschild, a member of the banking family, typed a letter to an illustrator seconded to his unit, asking him to draw-poster size images of the chocolate to warn the public to be on the lookout for it. The letter to the artist Laurence Fish , dated May 4, 1943, was unearthed by Mr Fish's wife Jean Bray, as she went through her late Husband's possessions after his death in 2009, aged 89.

        The letter revealed how the mechanism would be activated when a piece of chocolate was broken away, which would reveal a piece of canvas running through the centre of the bar. Lord Rothschild enclosed a 'very poor diagram' by someone who had seen one of the bars. Apparently seven seconds after a  piece of chocolate and attached canvas were pulled out , the explosive would be detonated. 

       The letter was written to Mr Fish by Lord Rothschild from his secret bunker in Parliament Square in Central London.
       Fish went on to design poster's for 'Dunlop' and 'BP'.


      As a matter of fact , Churchill himself did not eat chocolate . Amongst other items that Rothschild was asked to investigate were suspicious cigars sent to the prime minister, and used his Zoologist's dissecting skills on a bomb hidden in a cargo of Spanish onions,  for which Churchill recommended him for a George medal.
