Description

An American map titled "Newsmap, Monday, November 29, 1943." The globe map presents a top view of the world with Japan located in the center. The map identifies locations of Japanese and Allied control, distances from San Francisco and Tokyo to areas such as Manila and Singapore, and other details. The smaller globe, on the bottom right, highlights areas under Japanese control. The other map, of Berlin, shows the locations of railroad lines and stations, airfields, radio stations, electrical power plants, locomotive and tank works, gasworks, munitions and armament works, optical works, and other details. Printed text and a photograph reveal news on multiple fronts. Printed text and a photograph on the back informs soldiers of the importance of keeping secrets so as to keep the element of surprise. The photograph is of a man acting like he is sneaking up behind a German soldier with a hatchet. The title of this section is "Surprise?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?Ǭ¶A Powerful Weapon."
