Afro-European Theater of War map 1943 WW2

A persuasive map of Europe showing the Allies poised to strike back at Nazi Germany’s gains. One of dozens, if not hundreds of maps, issued to the public during the 1940’s showing the current situation in the European theater of war. This issue, based on maps by C.S. Hammond, was published and distributed by the Pictograph Corporation and reflects the Allied victory in North Africa shortly after the surrender of the German and Italian forces in May 1943.
On the verso are six maps showing possible invasion routes into Germany, including attacks through Northern France, Sicily and Italy, the Lowland Countries, Scandinavia, the Adriatic, and Greece. Possibly part of the clever campaign to deceive the Germans about the true intention of the military buildup around Normandy, which would host the largest amphibious operation in the history of the world just a few months after publication. 23" x 32" in good shape
