Custom Piece Printed Tile – Operation Sea Lion military map – 3D Print for LEGO minifigure

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 Operation Sea Lion (Unternehmen Seelöwe), the German plan for the invasion of Great Britain. It shows the English Channel, with the German-occupied coast of France at the bottom and the southern coast of England at the top. Red arrows and unit markers indicate the planned amphibious and airborne (Fallschirmjäger) invasion routes from France to England.

Background: The real Operation Sea Lion was Nazi Germany’s code name for its planned invasion of the United Kingdom in 1940, during World War II. After the fall of France, this invasion was seen as the final step to ending the war in the West. However, the plan was dependent on the German Luftwaffe first gaining air superiority over the Royal Air Force, which they failed to do during the Battle of Britain. As a result, Operation Sea Lion was postponed indefinitely and never executed.
