This is not a copy, but the complete 80 year old original afternoon edition of the Nazi Hamburger Illustrierte Zeitung of Wednesday 27 May 1942.

This 13-½ x 18-½ inch newspaper has 6 pages and is filled with war news: the latest from the Soviet Union including the fierce fighting around Charkow (now Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine), as well as American losses in the Pacific and British losses in the Mediterranean.

A nearly 80 year old World War II Nazi newspaper in good used condition, folded twice. No offensive odor.

There is quite a lengthy (one year anniversary) recap of the heroic battle by the battleship Bismarck, with maps and photos.

There is also coverage of the Juden-Meeting of Soviet Jewish Leaders in Moscow, as well as the death of the only daughter of Richard and Cosima Wagner, Eva Chamberlain-Wagner. She was the wife of British radical anti-Semite Houston Stewart Chamberlain, and the article mentions Eva was the recipient of the Golden Nazi Party Badge and an Ehrenbürgerin or honorary citizen of Bayreuth, the city where she died at age 75.

The paper has photos of Kriegsmarine Admiral Dönitz greeting Adolf Hitler, a destroyed enemy tank (the caption mistakenly identifies it as American!) on the muddy battlefield in Russia, as well as athletes and movie stars of the new Terra film Fronttheater (location shooting took place in occupied Bordeaux and Greece!).

There is advertising for the new UfA movie Wiener Blut as well as advertising for boots and shoes, sunglasses, German lessons for foreigners, even a want ad for 50 women needed for Kriegswichtige Arbeit, work important to the war effort.
