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 1943 advance of the U.S. Fifth Army in Italy. It shows the Italian coast (in blue) and the mountainous inland terrain, with numerous large blue arrows illustrating the difficult, multi-pronged advance of the Fifth Army’s divisions as they moved north from the beachheads.
Background: The real U.S. Fifth Army, under General Mark Clark, was the primary American force in the Italian Campaign of World War II. After landing at Salerno in September 1943 (Operation Avalanche), they began a slow, brutal, and costly advance north against highly skilled German defenders who used the mountainous terrain of Italy to create a series of formidable defensive lines (like the Gustav Line). This map represents the routes of that grueling advance.
