On 17 April 1941, during the infamous Luftwaffe Blitz bombing of London, the Alfred Dunhill store (and many others in the surrounding area) were bombed and almost totally destroyed. The restoration was not fully completed until 1953. A popular piece of lore from that period is that Dunhill employees called Sir. Winston Churchill at 4:00 a.m. to ensure him that his private collection of cigars ([[Dunhill Cigars]]) housed in the store's humidifier had been transferred safely out of danger<ref name=balfour27>Balfour, Michael.

Le 17 avril 1941, durant le tristement célèbre bombardement de Londres par la Luftwaffe, appelé Blitz, le magasin d'Alfred Dunhill, et de nombreux autres aux alentours furent bombardés et  presque  entièrement détruits.La restauration ne fut entièrement terminée qu'en 1953.
La tradition populaire retient qu'à ce moment là les employés de Dunhill appelèrent Sir Winston Churchill à 4h du matin pour lui confirmer que sa collection privée de cigares ([[Dunhill Cigars]]) conservées dans la cave du magasin avait été mise en sécurité.<ref name=balfour27>Balfour, Michael.

The Second World War was a difficult time. The rationing that the war promoted was so draconian that Dunhill suffered from the scarcity of raw material until the beginning of the 50 years in the post-war period.<br>
