Description

An American map titled "Newsmap, Monday, August 16, 1943." The map of the Eastern front shows railways, oil pipe lines, rivers, canals, marshes, the extent of the farthest Nazi gains, the area recaptured by the current Soviet offensive, and the area held by the Nazis. The smaller map, of the invasion of Sicily, shows highways, roads, railways, and areas taken by the Allies. Printed text and photographs reveal news on multiple fronts. Printed text and pictures on the back provide detail on how to recognize Japanese aircraft.
