* German submarine U-507
* Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine
* Mouth of Mississippi River attack
The top of the front above the masthead has a very nice banner headline in bold lettering: "U.S. SHIP TORPEDOED OFF MISSISSIPPI RIVER" with subhead. (see)
Twenty-four pages, archival mend along the central fold on page 2 with a little text loss, other minor margin wear, nice for display as such.
wikipedia notes: On the 12 May she sank the 10,000 ton SS Virginia in the mouth of the Mississippi, killing 26 sailors in an audacious attack which shocked the American authorities. Swinging south, she sank a Honduran freighter as she cruised out of the Caribbean Sea, leaving a shaken seaboard behind her. On this cruise alone she had sunk nine ships totaling 45,000 tons.
