About This Item
Newsmap was a poster/newspaper issued weekly during World War II by the U.S. War Department to military installations and government and civic groups working on War Department projects. Issues generally contained one or more maps as well as reports of recent military actions. A good overview of the history and content of the Newsmaps is provided by the University of North Texas Digital Library. https://digital.library.unt.edu/explore/collections/NMAP/
This issue features a dramatic, full-sheet map of the world with countries color-coded by their affiliation and with the locations at which U.S. troops were stationed. The reverse side of the Newsmap features a half-sheet world map which has been annotated with recent significant events, such as, "RAF Bombs Berlin, Interrupts Anniversary," "American Subs Sink Six More Jap Ships," and "Battle for Stalingrad Ends in Soviet Victory." In addition, there are summary reports of activities at ten fronts.
