The item is a Custom Printed Map Tile accessory, which is designed for minifigures. This is a custom accessory featuring a detailed printed military campaign map. This specific map depicts the 1945 Allied campaign in the Ruhr and Elbe regions of Germany. It shows a large area of Western and Central Germany, with prominent red lines and blue arrows. These markings illustrate the final Allied pincer movement that encircled the German forces in the Ruhr Pocket and the subsequent rapid advance eastward to the Elbe River.
Background: This map represents the final major campaign on the Western Front in World War II. In April 1945, after crossing the Rhine, Allied forces (primarily American) executed a massive pincer movement to trap over 300,000 German soldiers in the industrial Ruhr region. Following this victory, Allied armies raced across Germany, reaching the Elbe River, which would soon become the meeting point with the advancing Soviet Red Army.
