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 1944 Allied advance to the Gothic Line in Northern Italy. It shows the northern part of Italy and the Adriatic Sea, with the formidable German defensive position (the Gothic Line) clearly marked. The red-shaded areas represent German-held territory, while the green boxes and arrows show the positions and advance of Allied forces.
Background: The real Gothic Line (Gotenstellung) was the last major German defensive line in the Italian Campaign of World War II. It was a formidable set of fortifications built across the narrowest part of the Italian peninsula, from the Apennine Mountains to the Adriatic coast. The Allied armies (including American, British, Canadian, and Polish forces) launched a major offensive (Operation Olive) in the autumn of 1944 to break this line. The fighting was severe and costly, and while parts of the line were breached, the Allies did not achieve a full breakthrough until the final spring offensive in 1945.
