TitleOstasiatischer Lloyd
DescriptionNewspaper in German from Shanghai, "Ostasiatischer Lloyd", 7th June 1945. Collected by Edgar and Irene Boehm, Jewish refugees in Shanghai from 1939 until 1946 when they migrated to Australia.
The headline carries an announcement on the transfer of sovereignty over Germany by the Allies at the end of World War II, spelling out the surrender details, armed forces, borders shipping etc. Now the Far East War is still in progress and an air raid by the U.S on Japanese occupied Nanking is reported.
A Japanese reporter speaks highly about the conduct of Soviet troops in his part of occupied Berlin and the efficiency of the Soviet administration and there are already announcements on the forthcoming division of Berlin into Soviet and Western Allies zones. Stalin has agreed to a conference with Britain and the US. Plans are in progress to pursue Goering as a war criminal. An English notice contains plans for Air Raid drills in Shanghai under Japanese occupation.
This edition does not appear to express any regrets about the outcome of the War in the West and their German Allies nor hint at intensification of the War in the East on the single page of this edition. There are still ads for Whiskey, cooks and so on.
