Story
On July 21, 1942, the world was gripped by the terrifying uncertainty of the German summer offensive in Russia.
Maker / Origin
By 1942, The New York Times had solidified its reputation as the American 'newspaper of record' under the guidance of Arthur Hays Sulzberger.
Condition & Value
The paper shows characteristic 'toning' or yellowing, which is inevitable for wood-pulp paper of this era. While WWII newspapers are not exceedingly rare, issues with significant 'battle' headlines and maps carry a premium.
