YOU ARE PURCHASING:

AN EARLY 1945 WW2 DATED EVENTS WAR MAP. IT IS THE 25TH EDITION OF STANLEY TURNER'S DATED EVENTS WAR MAPS WHICH WAS THE FINAL EDITION PUBLISHED BEFORE V-E DAY.

FIRST COPYRIGHTED BY C.C. PETERSEN IN 1942 THE DATED EVENTS WAR MAP SERIES WENT THROUGH OVER 30 ITERATIONS BY NUMEROUS PRINTING HOUSES IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES. THIS PARTICULAR MAP WAS PRINTED BY THE SHAR-BARTON COMPANY. THIS LARGE UNFOLDING MAP OF THE WORLD CAPTURES THE STATUS OF THE ON GOING GLOBAL CONFLICT OF WW2 JUST WEEKS BEFORE GERMANY'S SURRENDER.

IN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF 1945, ALLIED TROOPS WERE ON THE ADVANCE ON NEARLY EVERY FRONT. OFFENSIVES IN ITALY, AUSTRIA, GERMANY, THE PHILIPPINES, HUNGARY, AND DENMARK WERE TAKING PLACE AND THEIR INITIAL SUCCESSES ARE REFLECTED ON THIS MAP. THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST EDITIONS ISSUED, MOST LIKELY IN MID OR LATE MARCH, 1945 BASED ON THE DATE OF THE MOST RECENT ANNOTATION (THE MARCH 10TH INVASION OF MINDANAO IN THE PHILIPPINES).

ACROSS THE MAP, NUMEROUS ANNOTATIONS MARK IMPORTANT EVENTS AS THEY UNFOLDED THROUGHOUT THE WAR. BRIGHT COLOR IS USED TO DISTINGUISH AXIS, ALLIED AND NEUTRAL TERRITORIES, WITH FURTHER EXPLANATION PROVIDED BY THE LEGEND IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER.

NUMEROUS INSET MAPS IDENTIFY REGIONAL ACTION IN THE BALKANS, GERMANY, AND ON THE PHILIPPINES AND JAPANESES HOME ISLANDS.

THE MAP MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 39 INCHES WIDE X 17 INCHES TALL.

NOTE: THIS MAP SHOWS FAINT TO MODERATE WEAR ALONG THE FOLD LINES WITH SOME MINOR AGE RELATED YELLOWING. OVERALL IT SHOWS MINIMAL HANDLING WEAR AND IS IN VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION. IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY WW2 HISTORY BUFF'S MILITARY COLLECTION.

WEIGHT APPROX. 3 oz.
