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 map depicts the complete 1940 Battle of France and the resulting Armistice. It shows the entire country of France, with markings for the German “Blitzkrieg” advance in the north (part of Fall Gelb and Fall Rot) and a smaller Italian invasion from the southeast. The most prominent feature is the dark demarcation line that divided France into the German-occupied zone (north and west) and the unoccupied “Free Zone” (Vichy France) in the south.
Background: The Battle of France (May-June 1940) was the German invasion that led to the collapse of France. As Germany was finalizing its victory, its ally Italy also declared war and launched an invasion in the Alps. The Armistice of 22 June 1940 divided France; this map illustrates that complete strategic situation, showing both the invasion and the resulting occupied territories.
