Throughout WWII, there were baseball games played in the bases such as Norfolk, VA, and in the Pacific as a way to entertain the troops. In Europe, this was not really possible until after the war ended.

Once the war ended, a tournament was held. The World Series was held in Nuremberg, Germany, with Hilter's complex visible in the background.

The series was notable for another reason in that one of the teams was integrated and featured future HOF's Leon Day and Willard Brown.

This is a program from that series.

I don't know how many copies exist, but since I started collecting WWII baseball items, I have only seen one other.

It's the kind of program that is far outside of what most people collect. But for me, it's a centerpiece of my collection.

Nice pickup, Jeff. Congrats!
