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 depicts a simplified, color-coded overview of the Battle of Kursk (July 1943). The map clearly shows the large Kursk Salient (the yellow bulge in the center) held by Soviet forces. The red arrows indicate the German pincer attack (Operation Citadel) from the north and south, attempting to cut off the salient. The map is labeled at the bottom with the dates “5 July – 23 July 1943.”
Background: The Battle of Kursk was a massive and pivotal World War II engagement on the Eastern Front. The German offensive, code-named Operation Citadel, was an attempt to encircle and destroy the Soviet forces within the Kursk salient. The Soviets, however, had excellent intelligence and built deep, formidable defenses. The resulting clash was one of the largest battles of the war and included the largest tank battle in history, marking the last major German offensive in the East and turning the tide of the war.
