3rd and 7th Armies Will Occupy Reich; 9th Ending Job Here – The Stars And Stripes 06/11/1945

Headline: 3rd and 7th Armies Will Occupy Reich; 9th Ending Job Here, May Go To Pacific
From The Stars And Stripes, 06/11/1945

This newspaper captures an interesting and important moment in 20th century history after Allied victory in Eurpoe.  The events of this time would lay the foundation for the world’s geopolitical landscape for the next 50 years.

Contains a full comics page with Dick Tracy, Lil Abner, Gasoline Alley and Blondie.  Good article about potentially trying SS members held in camps for war crimes.  Also, contains an article about Russia “studying” demobilization, which seems to be written from the perspective that, even then, it was known that they would not withdraw.  Of course, this would become the Iron Curtain for the rest of the century.
