The front page has a two column heading: "Goebbels Promises Nazis New Effort Will Win" (see) Page 4 has a banner headline: "Text of Goebbels' Story of the Anti-Hitler Plot and His Plea for All-Out German War Effort" Lengthy text here.
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. Nice condition.
