THE STAR, Guernsey, May 28, 1941 

* Rare pro-Nazi occupation issue

This island is among the Channel Islands & was occupied by the Germans during WWII so all reports have a pro-Nazi bias yet printed in English as the residents were British. The top of the front page has: "The Tragedy Of H.M.S. Hood" "The World's Biggest Battleship Blown Up---An Irreplaceable Loss For the British Navy" "Details Of The Famous Battle Cruiser". Significant to have this report in a pro-Nazi newspaper.
Four pages, some minor foxing, generally nice condition.
