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 is titled in German “Schlacht bei Kursk” (Battle of Kursk) and “Deutscher Angriffsplan” (German Attack Plan). It is a simplified, strategic-level map showing the large Soviet salient (in blue) and the planned German pincer attack (in red) from the north and south, which was intended to cut off and destroy the Soviet forces within the bulge.
Background: The Battle of Kursk (July-August 1943) was a massive and pivotal World War II engagement on the Eastern Front. The German offensive, code-named Operation Citadel, was an attempt to encircle the Soviet forces in the Kursk salient. This map represents the German strategic plan for this offensive, which ultimately failed after clashing with a deeply prepared Soviet defense and led to the largest tank battle in history.
