NEW YORK POST, September 27, 1939.

• Blitzkrieg - Warsaw surrenders
• World War II WWII beginning
• German invasion of Poland

The top of the front page, above the masthead, is a nice banner headline announcing: "WARSAW SURRENDERS, SAYS GERMANS'" with subhead. (see images) Nice for display.
Complete with all 26 pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, small binding holes along the spine, generally in good condition.

Background: The September 27, 1939 surrender of Warsaw marked the tragic culmination of the Siege of Warsaw and the practical collapse of organized military resistance in central Poland, serving as the grim opening chapter of World War II in Europe. After weeks of relentless encirclement, the city’s defense was shattered by "Black Monday" on September 25—a devastating, unrestricted aerial and artillery bombardment by the German Luftwaffe that dropped over 600 tons of explosives, destroying critical water mains, power grids, and hospitals while killing up to 25,000 civilians. Trapped between invading German forces from the west and invading Soviet troops from the east following the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, General Juliusz Rómmel authorized the ceasefire to prevent the total annihilation of the population. Beyond handing Nazi Germany complete control over the Polish capital and forcing roughly 140,000 soldiers into captivity, the fall of Warsaw demonstrated the terrifying efficacy of Blitzkrieg tactical doctrine against urban centers, setting a brutal precedent for civilian casualties, infrastructure destruction, and total warfare that would define the next six years of German occupation.
