French Police Checking People's Papers Outside a Cafe in Paris, 1940. Second World War. 'Paris, May 1940. To outward appearance, Paris as usual. But inwardly, nervous, apprehensive. Along the Champs Elysées and the grands boulévards, the police check identity papers, for France is now gripped by fear of Fifth Columnists. Whatever news trickles from the front, is of confusion and retreat. The city alive with rumours, true and false...So Paris hopes, and orders herself another apéritif. Hopes, and puts a good face on it'. From "Time To Remember - Run Rabbit Run", 1940 ( Reel 3); documentary film about events of early months of 1940.
