Show PostIt would be impolite not to offer a map-map to accompany the @newsofthewar.bsky.social this week. So here's Petsamo, as offered by AMS in '43 (via GSGS in Dec 1942; from the 4093 series, published in 1940). Lovely.

Was talking earlier this week with a friend about how we both adore the newspaper as form of historical source: @newsofthewar.bsky.social turns that appreciation up to 12. Wonderful way to learn something new about the Second World War every time you tune in

Events I know of but not about. I think we have forgotten how important newspapers once were. A couple of yrs ago I read Living the German Revolution 1918-1919 (Christopher Dillon et al, Oxford University Press 2023). The belligerents literally fought to control the presses.
