''The New York Times'' 31 August 1939 edition, the day before Germany invaded Poland, and World War II began. Headline warns: ''British Reply to Hitler Narrows the Issue to Free Negotiations With Poland or War''. Smaller headline holds a futile hope for peace: ''Hitler Is Yielding, Washington Hears''. Germany's Luftwaffe bombed Poland just hours after this newspaper was printed. Expected toning to paper running 20pp. and measuring 16.75'' x 22.25''. Chipping to left edge from previous binding. Overall very good plus.
