Description

An American chart of the European theater of operations. This chart includes a history from the end of World War I until the end of World War II in the European theater. Photos of political and military leaders, maps, and unit insignia accompany the text. Specifically, the maps complement the printed text by showing the movement of Allied and German forces throughout the Western, Eastern, Italian, and Northern African fronts. Specific units and/or their commanding officers are often noted on the maps along with dates of specific events. Attached is the original cover piece which is titled "Factual Chart of World War II: European Operations." Printed text and graphics on this cover piece include the insignia of the United States Army Corps involved in the European theater and the insignia of the nine service commands. Handwriting on the back of the chart and cover piece indicates that this chart is part of the Official File. The handwriting reads in part: "OF 273-A, 1/28/46."
