Purchase multi magazines and I will combine all shipping involved with those issues. Original January 21, 1945 Continental Edition of YANK – The Army Weekly, published for American servicemen in Europe during the closing months of World War II.This is an exceptional Battle of the Bulge / Bastogne issue, with a dramatic wartime cover showing captured German soldiers under American guard and boldly captioned “BASTOGNE PAYOFF.”Inside is the extensive illustrated feature “Battle of Bastogne,” written while the events were still fresh. The article recounts the desperate fighting around Bastogne and the breakthrough that relieved the surrounded American defenders, including coverage of the 101st Airborne Division, 4th Armored Division and Patton’s Third Army. Rather than a postwar retrospective, this is original GI journalism produced during the war for the men who were fighting it.Additional European Theater material includes “From Beer to Bazookas,” following men of the 84th Infantry Division, and “On the Move,” documenting the movement of another Third Army division toward the front. The magazine is packed with original wartime photographs and firsthand-style reporting of American forces fighting across Europe.Also included is a beautiful full-page Deanna Durbin YANK Pin-Up Girl, giving the issue significant Hollywood and WWII pin-up crossover appeal.This is the desirable Continental Edition, priced at 3 francs and distributed overseas to American servicemen. It combines virtually everything desirable in a wartime YANK: Bastogne, Battle of the Bulge, 101st Airborne, Patton’s Third Army, German POW imagery, combat photography and a major Hollywood pin-up.Condition is very presentable for an original 1945 servicemen’s magazine, with expected age toning and normal handling/edge wear. Interior pages and photographs remain particularly attractive. Please review photographs for exact condition.PLEASE LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE PICTURES AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.
