Description
This unusual map of Tunisia was apparently published (anonymously) as an Allied commemoration of the WWII campaign in North Africa. A simple political map, issued at the small scale of 1:2,000,000, identifies settlements, geographic features, national boundaries, and the regional transportation network. Text on the right side of the page describes the purpose of the sheet, reproduced below:
“This map is a pocket guide which will orient you in your travels and experiences in the battle zone. Keep yourself constantly oriented and connect your experiences with places. One inch on this map is 32 miles on the ground. Do not mark this map! It is not intended to help the Hun. Keep this map on you at all times. Know where you have been, where you are, and where you are going. Become a G-2. With this aid, you can be the best informed in this fight. Report to an officer what you see.”
