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 Cobra, the 1944 Allied breakout from Normandy. It shows a detailed tactical map, with Allied forces (in blue) breaking out from their positions and advancing into German-held territory (shaded in red). The “fan” shape of the blue arrows and unit markers is characteristic of the rapid breakout.
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 after the D-Day landings. After a massive carpet bombing, the U.S. First Army shattered the German front, leading to a rapid armored advance. This breakout was a pivotal turning point, leading to the encirclement of German forces in the “Falaise Pocket” and the liberation of France.
