Item # 698324
March 26, 1945
BROOKLYN EAGLE, New York, March 26, 1945
* American Red Cross fundraising
* General George S. Patton in Germany
Although there is a nice banner headline from World War II: "PATTON TANKS CRASH FRANKFURT SUBURBS", the focus of the front page is the huge, red cross with the headline above the masthead (also in red ink): "Brooklyn Red Cross Quota $890,500 Short".
The outer leaves only of the first section with pages 1, 2, 7 & 8. Some margin tears & a small piece from the back leaf margin.
AI notes: In March 1945, General Patton’s Third Army crossed the Rhine River and swiftly captured Frankfurt, a key German industrial city. The city fell with limited fighting as German forces were retreating. This victory helped cut German supply lines and accelerated the Allied advance into Germany, bringing the war closer to its end.
