Winston Churchill becomes Prime Minister...



Item # 717193

May 11, 1940

THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 11, 1940.

* Sir Winston Churchill becomes Prime Minister
* Nazis invade the Netherlands


The front page has a 3-line banner heading: "DUTCH AND BELGIANS RESIST NAZI DRIVE; ALLIED FORCES MARCH IN TO DO BATTLE; CHAMBERLAIN RESIGNS, CHURCHILL PREMIER", with many subheads and a related map. Considerably more coverage is present as well along with other news of day. See images for more details.

Believed to be complete in 38 pages, a "rag edition", in very good condition.
