WORLD WAR II
Mimeographed typescript of the USS Salamaua News
1945. WORLD WAR II. Mimeographed typescript of the USS Salamaua News. No place September 3 1945. Two sheets of beige paper staple-bound as issued each measuring 8 by 13 inches; pp. 2. $9500.Original mimeographed USS Salamaua News newsletter containing detailed news of Japanese surrender preliminary reports on POWs in Japan and their treatment by the Japanese Japanese reactions to the surrender brief news from around the world and baseball standings accompanied by a black-and-white photograph of the newsletter's owner Lt. Commander Fred R. Salisbury II of the Salamaua.This newsletter was issued for crewmen on the USS Salamaua best known for being attacked on January 13 1945. This ship newsletter from nine months after the attack kept the crew of approximately 570 officers and enlisted men informed of world eventsparticularly those relevant to their service. This issue of the newsletter provides details of the Japanese surrender; initial reports on prisoners in Japanese prison camps; and other world news including standings for the National League and American League baseball teams.Notable quotations from the newsletter include: ""TOKYO BAY Japan surrendered formally and unconditionally to the United States and its allied partners today
MacArthur told the Japs that 'As supreme commander for the allied powers I announce it is my firm purpose in the tradition of the countries I represent to proceed in the discharge of my responsibilities with justice and tolerance while making all necessary dispositions to insure that terms of surrender are fully promptly and faithfully complied with
President Truman speaking over a radio hookup
proclaimed Sunday September 2nd as 'V-J Day' The day of formal surrender by Japan
Liberated allied prisoners of war Sunday recited more instances of beating hunger and humiliation
There was no indication of deliberate German scale mass extermination
Approximately 4200 Americans British and Dutch remain in camps in the Tokyo-Yokohama area
TOKYO The Japanese said Saturday that for two days after Emperor Hirohito told his people the war was over several planes evidently flown by fanatical suicide pilots dropped pamphlets on major Japanese cities asking the people to disregard the Emperor's word and fight on
""The USS Salamaua had participated in the invasion of Lingayen Gulf in the Philippines. A kamikaze attack carried out by a Ki-84 airplane left a 16-foot by 32-foot hole in the Salamaua's flight deck. It also sparked a number of fires. The plane had carried two 551-pound bombs allowing it to penetrate deeply into the lower decks. One bomb detonated near the tank tops just above the bilge and narrowly missing the bomb stowage compartment. The blast sent debris and fuselage across the flight deck collapsing a number of bulkheads. The second bomb failed to explode and was ejected through the starboard side of the ship at the waterline. The 20-inch hole it left allowed seawater to rush into the ship. As a result the ship lost power communications and steering becoming a sitting duck.While the Salamaua sat immobile two more planes tried to strike it. One crashed into the sea while another detonated in mid-air as it approached. The failure of those pilots meant that the attack killed only 15 of the Salamaua's crew. Another 88 crewmen were injured some seriously.When Rear Admiral Calvin T. Durgin in command of a task force asked for the origin of the smoke he saw coming from the Salamaua he received the reply ""Something just went through our flight deck."" The starboard engine was submerged and the ship listed 8 degrees to starboard. Yet the crew managed to get the ship functional using only the portside engine. Ten long hours after the attack the Salamaua was able to break away to Leyte for repairs. An entire day of pumping failed to alleviate the flooding so the ship merely underwent stabilization repairs before being sent to San Francisco for two rounds of repair. The Salamaua returned to the Philippines in May and eventually was retired from service in 1946 earning the dubious distinction of being the last ship to be successfully attacked by a kamikaze. From the collection of Lt. Commander Fred R. Salisbury II of Minnesota. Salisbury worked in his father's business a furniture manufacturer until the outbreak of World War II Salisbury enlisted in the U.S. Navy in February of 1942 and was assigned to be lieutenant commander of the USS Salamaua a Casablanca-class escort aircraft carrier. Salisbury was released on inactive duty in March 1946 and became vice president of the family business. Laid-in photograph of Salisbury in Guam in 1945.A fascinating World War II artifact. unknown

WORLD WAR II
Pre-battle map of Okinawa Island
1945. WORLD WAR II. Pre-battle map of Okinawa Island. Washington: Army Map Service 1945. Single sheet measuring 22-1/2 by 20 inches with black-and-white topographical map on Side A and color oceanographic map on Side B. $2500.Official doubled-sided U.S. Army map of Okinawa Island before the Battle of Okinawa labeled ""SECRET.""The Battle of Okinawa code name ""Operation Iceberg"" took place on Okinawa Island between April 1 1945 and June 22 1945. One of the Ryukyu Islands extending southwest of the Japanese mainland Okinawa was of paramount strategic importance. Allied forces needed it to launch Operation Downfall the large-scale on-the-ground invasion of Japan anticipated to take place in November 1945. Allied forces the bulk of which were U.S. Army and marines faced off against the Imperial Japanese Army and conscripted indigenous Okinawan civilians that spring. The Allies launched a multi-pronged amphibious assault of Okinawa and surrounding islands. Although the Allies significantly outnumbered defenders the Japanese brooked their efforts with kamikaze and other extreme defense tactics. Approximately 250000 died from war starvation illness and mass suicide in what would be the bloodiest battle in the Pacific Theater.Side A of this map shows Beach Landing zones coded by color and number extending down the western coast of southern Okinawa Island and corresponding to the area around modern day Yomitan. Kedena Air Base from which Allied forces planned to transport troops in Operation Downfall is located just a little further inland outside of the map limits. The map shows roads airports railroad and radio towers and lighthouses as well as underwater currents obstacles and cables. Gun pill box block house and earth-covered installations are demarcated as are limited topographical features. A Japanese-English glossary of helpful topographical terms underscores the nature of the foreign invasion.Side B shows a composite image of an aerial photo map overlaid with a topographical map also reproduced in February 1945 a few months prior to Operation Iceberg. This map shows landmarks like airports docks and major cities while also giving a sense of water currents and depth.On April 1 1945 Commander of the Tenth Army Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr. successfully launched an amphibious assault against this very coastline. His Army divisions and Marines commanded by Lemuel C. Shepherd Jr. Roy Geiger John R. Hodge and Pedro de Valle among others landed in waves on Hagushi Beaches shown on both sides of this map. Allied forces met such little resistance that they captured Yomitan Air Base shown as ""Yontan Airport"" on Side A and Kedena Air Base within hours. Lieutenant General Buckner was killed by coral shrapnel just days before the battle's conclusion on June 18 1945.This map and scant others like it facilitated the Allied invasion by introducing troops to the topography landmarks and place names of Okinawa Island. Accurate maps depended on military intelligence collected using the latest technology. Maps related to the Battle of Okinawa are significantly scarcer than D-Day maps which are highly coveted. Fine condition. unknown

WORLD WAR II
Archive: Wake Island Raid
1943. WORLD WAR II. Archive: Wake Island Raid maps photographs and documents. Near Wake Island: Intelligence Center Pacific Ocean Areas October 5-6 1943. Sixteen maps photographs and documents; maps range in size from 8 by 8 inches to 18 by 21-3/4 inches; photographs range from 6-1/4 by 8 inches to 18 by 9-1/4 inches. $9500.Superb archive of rarely seen map and photographs used in planning and documenting the October 5 1943 raid on Wake Island which was taken by the Japanese only weeks after the Pearl Harbor attack.Wake Island a U.S. airbase located approximately 2200 miles west of Pearl Harbor was captured by the Japanese in late December 1941. The island remained under Japanese control until the garrison there surrendered on September 7 1945. In October 1943 a U.S. task force conducted a two-day air raid on the island. The Japanese commander Shigematsu Sakaibara convinced the raid was the beginning of an attempt to retake the island marched 98 American civilian prisoners of war to a remote corner of the island and executed them. Following the war Sakaibara was tried and executed for war crimes. Of particular interest is a large map on thick stock folded into quarters and reinforced with tape on the verso bearing copious pencil annotations documenting the second day of air raids on the island recording various points in the action from the initial takeoff from the carrier at ""0515"" through the squadron's departure around ""0745."" The pilot carefully draws the route of two bombing runs the first against the runways on the main island of Wake and the second targeting the barracks and ammunition storage on nearby Peale Island. The pilot noted the direction of anti-aircraft fire positions of guns as well as the wind and the general weather conditions: ""Cumulus @ 2500 strong vertical development
Squalls to and from island."" The pilot recorded damage sighted including ""Red flame black smoke 0710"" coming from an underground storage area adjacent to Runway A. On his second run he observed ""Black smoke 0706-0715still going strong at 0725"" near the barracks on adjacent Peale Island. The archive also features four large highly detailed reconnaissance photographs of Wake island together with a large body of smaller maps all used in the planning of the October raid. Also of interest is a mimeographed document titled ""U.S.S. Yorktown Air Department Plan of the Day Tuesday 5 October 1943"" which details the schedule of the first day of operations beginning at ""0245"" and ending prior to sunset at ""1645"" noting the planned launchings and landings of seven major sorties against Wake. Several of the items are stamped ""VT-5 Air Intelligence""; VT-5 was a torpedo bomber squadron stationed on the Yorktown during the war. All items apparently from the collection of Lt. H.T. Reynolds of torpedo bomber Squadron VT-5 stationed aboard the U.S.S. Yorktown. One of the photographs of an Avenger in flight over Wake Island is captioned ""Lt. Reynolds U.S.S. Yorktown 1943.""Typical folds and other wear consistent with use though generally very well preserved in excellent condition overall. A superb collection of original materials used in the planning and subsequent reports on this historic attack. unknown

WORLD WAR II KEYES Geoffrey
Archive: Hand-colored map of the division of Germany; 25 V-Mail letters
1945. WORLD WAR II KEYES Geoffrey Lt. Gen. Archive: Hand-colored and annotated map outlining the division of Germany; 25 contemporary V-Mail letters from Keyes to his wife. Waiblingen-bei-Stuttgart Germany: 649th Engineer Topographic Battalion June 1945. Broadside map measures 22 by 29 inches titled ""Administrative Map of Western-Germany June 4 1945."" V-Mail letters each measure 4-1/4 by 5-1/4 inches. $12000.Lieutenant General Geoffrey Keyes' unique hand-colored and annotated map outlining the division of Germany per the Berlin Declaration produced just after Germany's unconditional surrender along with 25 contemporary letters by Keyes to his wife discussing the dramatic events of these historic times.It was agreed at the Yalta Conference held in Crimea February 4-11 1945 that after the war Germany would be split into four occupied zones: American British French and Russian. On May 7 1945 Germany signed an unconditional surrender at Allied headquarters in Reims France to take effect the following day. The Berlin Declaration of June 5 1945 confirmed the division of Allied-occupied Germany into four occupation zones according to the Yalta Conference. The map is titled ""Administrative Map / Western-Germany"" dated ""4 June 1945"" printed by the 649th Engineer Topographic Battalion 649th Engr. Top. Bn 1945"" in Waiblingen-bei-Stuttgart. The landkreise rural district stadtkreis urban district within landkreis and land boundaries made up of adjoining stadtkreis are noted. Identified with flags there are three Region Headquarters Darmstadt Marburg Stuttgart and five R.B. Headquarters Frankfurt Kassel Wiesbaden Mannheim Karlsruhe.Eight areas are outlined by hand in various colors. There are 17 landkreis at the western and southern borders of this map which are not outlined. These areas are in the French occupied zone. France was not represented at Yalta and Russia would only agree to a separate French occupation zone ""within the British and American zones."" It is possible that when this map was printed it was not yet determined if the 17 non-outlined landkreis were American. The four divisions were not confirmed until the Berlin Declaration on June 5 1945 the day after this map was published. The French zone includes the stadtkreis Baden-Baden and Bavaria. The French zone bordered mostly France and Switzerland but also small parts of Belgium Luxembourg and Austria. Included is a color photocopy of the four occupied zones indicating the area depicted in the Administrative Map of Western-Germany here offered.Also present are 25 pages of V-mail each 4-1/2 by 5-1/4 inches from Lieutenant General Keyes to his wife May-August 1945. She was living at the Hotel Tayer West Point. V-Mail used standardized stationery and microfilm processing to produce lighter smaller airplane cargo making space available for war supplies. V-Mail was used from mid-1942 to the end of 1945. Excerpts: ""The capitulation of the Germans yesterday has us all on the humpjust as much so as while we were still fighting
We are still awfully busy even if the fighting has ceased on this front
VE Day!! Now if we can quickly wind up the Jap affair we can really relax
We move to Salzburg this week
Well here we are installed in the Archbishop's Palace sweetheart each room is large enough for a battalion almost
flew to 3d Army to attend the homecoming ceremonies for Gen. Patton. It really was a great show and he was in rare form Had a nice visit with him
With the approaching end of the Jap war it will certainly be open season on generals!
Sunday is to be a gala day All the High Commissioners of Austria are gathering and Gen Clark's guests and others are going to the music Festival
just had a call and a concert by the Vienna Boys Choir
This afternoon the No 1 British French & Russian VIPs are coming to Salzburg as Gen Clark's guests and big festivities are slated
