WWII V-E Day Newspaper
“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
Historic 8 May 1945 issue of ''The New York Times'' declaring ''The War in Europe is Ended! Surrender is Unconditional; V-E Will Be Proclaimed Today'' in a 4'' headline. The front page photo shows thousands of Americans filling Times Square in celebration. In news of the Pacific Theatre, headline reads ''Our Troops on Okinawa Gain''. Businesses filled the paper's ads with grateful messages, such as the Russeks ad that says ''For this we thank God''. Measures 16.5'' x 22.5'' and runs 34pp. Toning and chipping along left-edge binding; very good.
