D-DAY INVASION  PRO GERMAN 1944 WWII

Here is a complete, genuine historic newspaper with the following title, date and description: THE STAR, Guernsey, Channel Islands, June 6, 1944.

* Very rare D-Day report from an original pro Germany newspaper

This is an exceedingly rare opportunity for a significant report not only in a Nazi newspaper, but one in the English language as well. Guernsey is an island in the English Channel, and from 1940 thru 1945 it was occupied by the Nazi forces who controlled the newspaper to be the mouthpiece of Hitler, obviously very biased towards the German cause. Fascinating reading as such. A bit over half of the first column is taken up with a report of D-Day, with headings: "Invasion Begins At 5:30 This Morning" "Germany Will Fight With Her Whole Might" with a dateline of Berlin. The full text is seen in the photos below and includes: "...our enemies in the West have, upon orders from Moscow, started their bloody sacrifice which they have feared for such a long time...we will give them a very warm welcome..." with more.  The balance of this 4 page issue is taken up with other biased reports on WWII plus various local news & ads. Measures about 12 1/2 by 13 inches. Very nice condition and a very rare  unique report.

BABE RUTH Baseball Idol Dies New York Times 1948 Newspaper

* Babe Ruth
* Famous title

This 44 page newspaper has a two line, two column headline on the front page:

* Babe Ruth ,Baseball Idol  Dies at 53 after lingering illness
 

                                                Cleveland Indians Championship Oct. 3, 1948,

Chicago Tribune famous issue that erroneously announces Truman's presidential defeat. As we all know, Truman actually won and this is the most famous journalistic mistake of the century. The date is November 3, 1948. The headline reads: "Dewey Defeats Truman" . This is one of the most sought-after papers by collectors because most of the issues were taken off the stands when the Tribune realized its error. Only 2000 were estimated to have reached private hands and most have disappeared since 1948. You will be viewing the front page of the Chicago Daily Tribune Nov. 3, 1948 showing headline DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN. This newspaper is complete & has 2 sections. Condition is excellent for the age of this item. This was one of the biggest headline blunders ever printed. In an effort to get the paper on the street quickly they didn't have time to proof read it. The last column on the right side of the front page (2nd paragraph) is printed upside down. We contacted the Chicago Tribune. A member of their staff told us the mistake happened in the First Edition of the paper and was based on early election results that showed Republican candidate Thomas E. Dewey beating President Harry S. Truman. There are no estimates on how many newspapers were printed before the story changed.  Even people who are not remotely knowledgeable about historic newspapers are familiar with this headline! The early edition of this paper printed this famous error, which was changed with the second edition , however several bundles had already been shipped to the Chicago suburbs. It is interesting to note that the typesetters of the Tribune were on strike at the time, so much of this issue was set using a typewriter, giving it its amateur appearance. Some sentences are even pasted in upside down. The edition in the OLDINK collection is of the earlier edition with the type set UPSIDE DOWN 

 Back in 1948 The Tribune printed 11 editions a day on this day 10 were MISPRINTS OLDINK is proud to have 7 of the 11    Dewey Truman.

"G.O.P. WINS WHITE HOUSE"

Follow-up to the famous "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline...

  CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, November 3, 1948  Perhaps the most recognizable headline of the 20th century is that which appeared on the front page of this title and date--but an earlier edition. It read: "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN", made famous by the photo showing Harry S. Truman smiling and holding that famous newspaper. This is the "Final" one star edition printed the very same day but slightly later. The editors saw fit to soften the phrasing a bit, still not aware of the true final outcome of the election, by proclaiming: "G.O.P. WINS WHITE HOUSE" The text in the last column on the ftpg. begins: "Dewey and Warren swept the country in the Presidential election yesterday. The early returns indicated that the Republican ticket had won by an overwhelming majority of electoral votes. President Truman went down to defeat with few states outside of the south..." with more. It is our experience that this edition is much more rare than the more famous one, as we've sold more than 50 issues of  "Dewey Defeats Truman" but this is only the second issue of this edition we have had in 30 years. Complete with both sections, some wear at the edges and the central fold  causing no loss of text (see photos). A very rare companion issue to the more famous headline.  Dewey Truman.

ORIGINAL newspaper dated November 2, 1950 with the Banner Headline . . PLOT TO KILL TRUMAN FOILED: ASSASSIN, COP DIE: 3 WOUNDED. The old newspaper is The Times Herald, Washington D.C. The paper has browned from age and shows signs of wear.  The paper was folded in half and has a fold line. A very nice piece of history.
