Very interesting, thank you for sharing! Funny how there's a number of mentions of rumors of American forces attacking Berlin.
What country if I may ask? (looks like a USAian newspaper but they might be sold in a lot of other places as well) Also how expensive where they?
Just interested BC these look quite cool
Edit:
What country if I may ask?
I meant: in which country did you buy the newspaper?
looks like a USAian newspaper
The post gives us the name of the paper: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_and_Stripes_(newspaper)
Should have specified that I mean in what country the newspaper was bought, sry ^^'
Nothing to apologize for, you were clear enough that the question was about where OP got the newspaper, I was just talking about the aside within the question (which is why I quoted exactly that part and not the rest).
Sorry, I think I'm getting needlessly hung up on minor details. Also for accidentally piling on with this quibble, since I didn't see the reply a minute before saying the same thing.
Nouuu no worries. I might have misunderstood you, wrote the comments after just waking up.
You are wholesome
It tells you where its from. It's Belgian. There's a whole explanation in the bottom of the third picture of how the circulation worked. Whoever bought the third newspaper did so on the eastern part of the western front in April of 1945, before the US military newspaper's eastern west front edition officially moved to Germany.
Or do you mean where OP got it?

yes exactly TwT
Stars and Stripes is a US military publication; it says right in the sheet header
The box in the top left corner says where each one was published; the first two are Germany, and the third is Belgium.

Sealing paper in plastic does not increase it's longevity!
