Description

An American map titled "Newsmap: Monday, August 2, 1943." The map, of Europe and Africa, shows the path and locations of Allied shuttle bombings. Four other maps show the stages of the Allied Sicily invasion from July 12 to July 26, 1943. Yet another map shows up to date positions in the Central Front from Zhizdra to Belgorod, Soviet Union. Printed text and photographs reveal news on multiple fronts. Printed text and drawings on the back give soldiers tips on how to recognize Allied tanks.
