THE STARS AND STRIPES--EXTRA, Paris Edition, Aug. 14, 1945
* Terrific issue for display
* Best title to be had
Of the several editions of this newspaper--and there were many published at various locations in Europe & elsewhere--this is the only one which reported the end of World War II on the 14th. The other editions carried the report on August 15. And this edition did it in much more dramatic fashion than the others as well, with over half of the front page taken up in huge (letters measure 8 inches tall), bold letters: "P E A C E" with broadside-like reporting of the event beneath it, beginning: "Japan announced acceptance of the Allied surrender terms today..." (see).
Four pages and in very nice, clean condition, never bound nor trimmed.
