Algemeen Handelsblad Possibly 1939

This is a front page of the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Handelsblad, likely from September 1, 1939. The headline "Duitse strijdmacht heeft Poolse grens overschreden" (German military has crossed the Polish border) announces the start of World War II. This newspaper gives a poignant insight into the immediate reactions to the outbreak of war, including the mobilization of French and English forces, and the declaration of war by Germany. This is a historic document and an important artifact of the time.
