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 specifically depicts the 1944 U.S. Third Army’s Lorraine Offensive. The map shows a section of the front in France, with red-shaded areas indicating formidable German defensive positions (likely along rivers and fortifications) and blue unit markers and arrows showing the planned or actual advance of the American forces.
Background: The real Lorraine Campaign was fought from September to December 1944 on the Western Front of World War II. After the rapid breakout from Normandy, General George S. Patton’s U.S. Third Army launched this difficult offensive to push through the heavily-defended Lorraine region of France, capture the strategic city of Metz, and advance to the German border. The campaign was a brutal, slow, and costly slogging match against a resurgent German defense, hampered by bad weather and supply shortages.
