Description
“The Press here presents a large-scale map of Europe for its readers to clip and save for the coming Allied invasion. Frederic H. Sterbenz outlines below the most probable invasion courses.” – Text, upper left.
This speculative ‘invasion map’ of Europe was copywritten by the American Map Company and published in the June 2, 1943 edition of the Cleveland Press – a full year before D-Day. Axis-occupied territory is shaded in pink while its further growth is checked by Allied invasion points, represented by red arrows. The accompanying text is astute; identifying a primary objective of knocking Italy out of the war and predicting significant attacks near Cherbourg/Le Havre in northern France.
