December 11, 1941
POTTSVILLE EVENING REPUBLICAN, Penna., Dec. 11, 1941
* The United States enters WWII
* Years of reluctance ends
* Roosevelt gives "War Message"
The front page has a full banner heading: "WAR IS ON WITH AXIS", with subheads: "Congress Declares War On Germany and Italy" and "Action Follows Declaration of War by Hitler and Mussolini; Washington Was Quick to Accept the Challenge; All World Is Now Embattled", with considerable supporting text. Also included on the front page is President Roosevelt's complete "War Message". Additional articles on the front page include: "Churchill Is Confident Despite Early Losses in East", "May Register, Classify All Men and Women", "Jap Landing Forces in Hand But Parachute Troops Take Airfield On Luzon Island", and more.
Appears to be complete in 10 pages, minimal wear and toning at the mid-fold, overall nice. See images for details. Would look great framed.
