September 07, 1939

THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 7, 1939.
 

* Blitzkrieg - Warsaw
* World War II WWII starts
* Nazis invade Poland


The front page has a nice banner headline:  "POLES HOLD GERMANS IN BATTLE FOR WARSAW; FRENCH INVADE REICH; BRITISH LAND IN FRANCE" with subheads. (see) Other news of the day with much on the early days of the war. Loads of text with related map on page 4. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 52 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Very nice condition.
