Original paired Sunday News magazine sections dated May 21 and May 28, 1939, each featuring the full-color foldout map series:

"Ups and Downs of the Reich" (Part 1 & Part 2)

Published just months before the outbreak of World War II, these maps trace the territorial evolution of the German Reich from early history through 1939.

This set includes a section from consecutive issues, forming a two-part sequence as originally issued — far less common than single surviving pages.
