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 labeled “THIRD ARMY DISPOSITIONS” (meaning “positions”) and is dated September 1944. It shows a sector of the Western Front, with blue markings (circles and arrows) indicating the positions and planned movements of the U.S. Third Army’s corps, and red lines indicating the German front.
Background: The real U.S. Third Army, famously commanded by General George S. Patton, was a primary force in the Allied “race across France” following the breakout from Normandy. By September 1944, as this map shows, their rapid advance was slowing down as they approached the German border and the fortified Lorraine region, where they began to encounter stiffer resistance and serious supply shortages.
