Is this true or just rumor?

There are NO images that I know of,unless Ed Godzewski or Sean Linkenback (both Godzilla authors and historians) know of it,all prints were destroyed in WW2,but I believe the release date WAS 1937,early 1938...lemme see if I can ask Sean ,since he is also a Poster guy as well. But it DID happen!!

Thank you!
I just learned of this one recently from some friends.
Don't know how that conversation started, but this tidbit was dropped and it breaks the mold on convention.
A shame that no print survived the War! Would be nice if an older print was found somewhere in the near future, but highly unlikely...
