Paul von Hindenburg burial...



Item # 637913

August 08, 1934

THE NEW YORK TIMES, August 8, 1934

* Paul von Hindenburg funeral burial
* Adolph Hitler is now fuhrer of Germany


The top of the front page has a one column heading: "HINDENBURG RESTS ON SITE OF VICTORY AFTER HERO'S RITES" with subheads. (see) More on page 3 with three related photos. Lengthy text here. Adolph Hitler became fuhrer of Germany upon Hindenburg's death. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 36 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. Nice condition.
