Item # 714036
May 08, 1945
THE STARS AND STRIPES - EXTRA, Germany Edition, May 8, 1945 This famous newspaper is subtitled: "Daily News of U.S. Armed Forces in the European Theater of Operations", and being the "Germany Edition" it is perhaps the very best newspaper in which to have the historic report of V-E Day, the end of World War II in Europe.
"Stars And Stripes" had at least six editions during the war. For this date we've offered editions from Paris, Nice-Marseille, London, Mediterranean, Southern Germany, and Germany. Each edition had a different headline, and without question, the most desired by collectors would be the Germany edition with the huge headline: "NAZIS QUIT ! " and "Doenitz Gives Order" taking most of the front page.
There is limited text, beginning: "Unconditional surrender of all German forces was announced yesterday by the German radio at Flensburg...".
More related text on the other 3 pages.
Complete as a 4 page newspaper, 11 by 15 1/4 inches, never bound nor trimmed, two creases to the back leaf, some light dirtiness, generally nice condition.
A perfect issue for display giving the headline and the small size.
