May 15, 1945
GUERNSEY WEEKLY PRESS, May 15, 1945
* Historic Guernsey issue
* Nazis driven out
* World War II ends in Europe
This island in the English Channel was under Nazi occupation beginning June 30, 1940 until the week of this printing. Among the ftpg. headlines: "Fly Your Flag At Three This Afternoon!" "How The German Capitulation Was Signed" "Guernsey's 5 Years Under Nazi Rule" with the latter article beginning: "For four years, ten months, and seven days, we 23,000 people in this Island of Guernsey have endured occupation by the forces of the enemy. Now, at long last, hopes & fears, doubts & disappointments, wish-thinking and wondering-what-will happen all dissolve in an overflowing cup of joy, relief & happiness...". A great wealth of content in this issue on the liberation of Guernsey. Certainly terrific to have this report in a Guernsey newspaper.
Four pages, large folio size, 4 pages, some dirtiness to the front page, generally good condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
