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 U.S. First Army breakout from the Normandy beachhead, an operation famously code-named Operation Cobra. The map shows the coastal region of Normandy, with numerous, thick blue arrows illustrating the massive, multi-pronged armored and infantry advance that broke through the German defensive lines (shown in red-shaded areas).
Background: The real Operation Cobra (launched in late July 1944) was the decisive American offensive that broke the bloody stalemate in the Normandy hedgerow country (the “Bocage”) after the D-Day landings. After a massive carpet bombing, the U.S. First Army (under General Omar Bradley) shattered the German front, leading to a rapid advance. This breakout was pivotal, leading to the encirclement of German forces in the “Falaise Pocket” and the liberation of France.
