Original May 21, 1945 issue of LIFE, hit the stands 13 days after Germany’s surrender. The cover is one of the most recognizable Churchill portraits ever printed: the wartime prime minister in a dark suit and polka-dot bow tie, staring down the camera.
Complete magazine!
This is the issue that framed the end of the war in Europe. Inside, LIFE covered the German surrenders, the Reims signing, London going wild on V-E Day, the last days of Berlin, a wreath on FDR’s grave, the San Francisco conference that led to the United Nations, and the first installment of its Churchill close-up. Also in the issue: John Dos Passos on the American Marianas, and the usual LIFE mix of photos, maps, and the home front.
Complete original magazine. Cover is present, title and date are sharp, and the Churchill portrait still reads strongly from across a room. Spine and corners show minimal age.
Strong display piece for a WWII, Churchill, or vintage magazine collection.
