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 Operation Dragoon, the Allied invasion of Southern France in 1944. It shows the Mediterranean coastline of France (the French Riviera), with the blue area representing the sea from which the Allied invasion force (U.S. Seventh Army and French forces) launched their attack. The red-shaded areas represent the German-occupied land.
Background: The real Operation Dragoon (initially named Operation Anvil) was the code name for the Allied landing operation in Southern France on August 15, 1944, during World War II. Launched after the successful Normandy landings, its goal was to secure the vital ports of Marseille and Toulon and open up another front to pressure German forces, who were then forced to retreat north, linking up with the Overlord forces.
