2 pages on shipbuilding "for remplacements are racing the nazi sinkings" 4 pages on the Battle of the plate, the Graf Spee sinking,
1 page on minesweeping.

Each number is in good shape seeing it's age, although the staples might be rusty. The give an interesting sight in how the war was presented to the public. Many other subjects can be found in them.

Kind regards,
