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 1943 Allied advance on the island of Sicily. The map shows the entire island, with blue and red lines and arrows originating from the southern coast (the landing zones) and moving inland, illustrating the different routes of the advancing American (blue) and British (red) armies.
Background: The real Allied invasion of Sicily, code-named Operation Husky (July–August 1943), was a major World War II campaign. It was the first major Allied landing on the European continent. The U.S. Seventh Army (under General Patton) and the British Eighth Army (under General Montgomery) landed on the southern and eastern coasts. The campaign was a success, driving the Axis (German and Italian) forces from the island in six weeks and opening the way for the invasion of mainland Italy.
