October 01, 1946
THE JET GAZETTE, Furth, Bavaria, Germany, October 1, 1946 Published by the Army Air Force Station of Furth, this is the volume 1, number er 14 issue which began publication after the end of the war in Europe.
The collectible significance of this issue would be difficult to understate. This airport began in the 1920's and when taken over by the Nazis in 1933 it became the training ground for the Bavarian Air Force. It was seized in early April, 1945 by the United States Army and used as a Ninth Air Force combat airfield until the end of the war in Europe.
Note that Furth is a suburb of Nurenberg, and this issue reports the verdict of those Nazis officers accused of war crimes in Nurenburg. Above the masthead is: "Extra! - - - War Crimes Trials Edition GUILTY ! " with the headlines below the dateline: "12 To Hang; 3 Not Guilty; 7 to Serve Time" with a photo of the group and the judgments listed on the front page. More related content with short biographies of many inside, plus illustrations of each. The back page also includes: "The Missing Link," with a photo of Adolf Hitler.
In the quest to find historical reports in newspapers as close to the event as possible, one can imagine not only finding a German newspaper with the news, but one from a Nurenberg suburb--and in the English language.
Complete in 4 pages, 8 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches, great condition.
