NEW YORK POST, April 26, 1945 

* The hunt for Adolph Hitler
* Russians - Soviet Army in Berlin
* Closing events of WWII Europe 

The front page has a nice headline: "RUSSIANS HUNT HITLER IN BERLIN" with coverage and related map on the next page. (see images)
Complete with all 40 pages, light toning at the margins, some wear along the spine, generally good.

background: By April 26, 1945, the hunt for Adolf Hitler had narrowed to a terrifying, smoke-filled radius of just a few city blocks as the Soviet Red Army’s 150th and 171st Rifle Divisions battled through the ruins of central Berlin. While the Western Allies had halted their advance at the Elbe River, leaving the "prize" of Hitler to Joseph Stalin, Soviet artillery was relentlessly pounding the Reich Chancellery with a density of nearly 300 guns per mile, turning the ground above the Führerbunker into a cratered wasteland. On this specific day, the claustrophobic atmosphere inside the bunker reached a fever pitch following the daring, blood-stained arrival of pilot Hanna Reitsch and General Robert Ritter von Greim, who landed a light aircraft on a shell-torn street under intense Soviet fire. Their arrival served as a grim confirmation to the world that Hitler was trapped; yet, even as Soviet soldiers fought room-to-room in nearby buildings and reached the edge of the Tiergarten, Hitler remained submerged in a delusional state, moving non-existent armies like "Steiner’s Group" on a map while his inner circle began to accept that the "hunt" would end not in a grand escape, but in a subterranean suicide.
