Description
This is the front page of the September 28, 1938 edition of the Chicago Daily Tribune. The bold headline announces the impending occupation of Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland by the German military. This came after the governments of Britain and France abandoned their ally for the Munich Agreement, which was signed the next day.
A simple map on the verso titled ‘How Germany Would Strangle Czech Communications’ plainly outlines the hopeless situation. It contrasts sharply with the nearby advertisements, which reflect the insulated nature of the American homefront.
