Death of Nazi Rudolf Hess, in a Berlin newspaper...
Item # 712278
·
B.Z., Berlin, Germany, August 18, 1987 The headline announces (translated): "HESS DEAD" with a smaller head: "The Last of Spandau" as Spandau prison, where he spent much of his life, was destroyed upon Hess' death to prevent it from becoming a Nazi sympathizers' shrine. This prison was in Berlin, where Rudolf Hess died.
The front page has a color photo of Hess as well, who died at the age of 93. Page 5 is mostly taken up with various photos of Hess' life, plus more text & photos on page 10 & the back page.
Great to have this report in a German newspaper.
Originally a 44 page issue but lacking pages 11-34. Tabloid-size, great condition.
