THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 28, 1939

* Blitzkrieg - Warsaw surrenders
* World War II WWII beginning
* Nazis invasion of Poland


The front page has a five column headline: "WARSAW, A SHAMBLES, SURRENDERS" with subheads that include: "20-DAY SIEGE ENDS" "Polish Defenders Yield Last Stronghold to Nazi Invaders" and more. (see) 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. Nice condition.
