MINNEAPOLIS MORNING TRIBUNE, December 19, 1944

  • Battle of Bulge begins
  • Initial German attack
  • World War II - WWII

The front page has a four column heading: "Germans Drive Yanks Back 4 Miles, Lose 143 Planes" with subheads. (see images)
Complete with with 18 pages, light toning and a little wear at the margins, some small ink notations on the inside pages only, generally good.

wikipedia notes: In December of 1944, the Germans began the assault with a massive, 90-minute artillery barrage using 1,600 artillery pieces across an 80 miles (130 km) front on the Allied troops facing the 6th Panzer Army. The Americans' initial impression was that this was the anticipated, localized counterattack resulting from the Allies' recent attack in the Wahlerscheid sector to the north, where the 2nd Division had knocked a sizable dent in the Siegfried Line. In the northern sector Dietrich's 6th Panzer Army assaulted Losheim Gap and Elsenborn Ridge in an effort to break through to Liège.
