August 09, 1944
THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, August 9, 1944
* Operation Valkyrie conspirators hanged
* Adolph Hitler murder plot failure
* Erwin Von Witzleben and more
The front page has a nice banner headline: "HITLER HANGS EIGHT OFFICERS IN ANTI-NAZI PLOT" with subheads that include: "MEN TRIED SWIFTLY" "Plotters Executed Two Hours After Sentence by 'People's Court'" and more. (see) Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day with much more on World War II. Complete in 30 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Very nice condition.
