Do not forget that the official American policy at the time was hands-off towards Hitler, i.e. "appeasement". We had good old Joe Kennedy in England wiring the U.S. administration at every opportunity about how great Hitler was.

You will see plenty of "Jap hunting licenses" made during the period, but not many "Nazi hunting licenses".

It took awhile for everyone to despite Nazi politics.

I am not surprised that as of early 1941, some portions of the American press are in love with fat boy Goering.

Thank's for input(ALL that has!)!!!,By no means have I forgotten about Kennedy! and all the other"Boy's Club"members! ,I agree with you completely !, HH ALL!!!

Very Cool find! I wonder why they would show where our base's were?
How much did you pay for it?

Thats a good question("why they would show our base's") because of all the "loose lips sinks ships" sort of thing.but as stated in another reply to post,media was in love with certain people&happenings.this paper was before U.S.A. was directly involved,two years prior the 3rd.Reich had invaded poland(1939),so now(6/2/41)maybe U.S.A. was showing a "show of force" thing due to the dictator saying(and goering re-inforcing!)no island is unconquerable! or maybe just MEDIA "blowing it" as they usually do!!!(remember when media met U.S.Navy SEALS as they hit the beach?),anyway i paid $2.52 for the paper,a new N.Y.Times cost a $1.50!!! thanks for input& HH ALL!!!

Thank's ,i think so too! Ya you should dig those old papers up,they are(to me!)so much fun to read especially when they contain historic articles,i guess most papers have only HISTORICAL articles for the most part,so the "old ones" i like! show pics of flood headlines if you find them&you can do it under the regional section of this fourm or "my collection" part,or here"todays finds"if you find it the day you post!ha ha.Thank's for input& HH ALL!!! ,

The Communist's and the Socialist's were hard at work here in the U.S. trying to paint a rosy picture of all the death being perpetrated in the name of those two political systems. Our goverment is still trying to shove this retoric down our throats.

 

[curbdiggercarl57]

And about three weeks later, Germany invaded Russia, that's when the political slant really changed. Russia became "Mother Russia", and we started to realize something truly global was happening. Love those war era newspaper, really love Veronica with her "peek-a boo" hairdoo!
