Comes with C.O.A.

This incredibly rare invasion edition report is dated June 6th, 1944, and extensively details the Normandy beach landings airborne operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. This double-sided four-page Normandy invasion update bulletin features unseen written and verbal accounts as well as news reports coming out of Berlin where it is referenced that, “It is hard to determine at this early hour exactly how the invasion is going since British and American dispatches are censored and German dispatches, as so many times before and I've been proven either untrue or propaganda.”

This invasion bulletin also offers an original typed-out transcription of General Eisenhower's broadcast message to the people of Western Europe the morning of June 6 that updates them on the Normandy invasion. It reads “people of western Europe, landing was made this morning on the coast of France by troops of Allied expeditionary force. This landing was part of a concentration United Nations plan for the liberation of Europe made in conjunction with our great Russian allied armies. I have this message for all of you. Although initial assault may not have been made in your country, the hour of liberation for you is approaching.”

The report continues to give unprecedented details and flash reports out of London and war correspondents directly part of the D-Day landings.
