This striking, colorful WWII progress map chronicles major events in the war up to September 1944, with the most recent events being "Brussels Liberated Sept 4-44," the "White Lime - Battle Line Sept 5 -44" in Ukraine, and "Japan Bombed Aug 20-44 by B-29 Super-Fortress." There are several battleships in the oceans, and Japanese planes are shown swarming above Hawaii to mark the attack on Pearl Harbor. An inset at bottom left shows the recent invasion of France, which began in June of that year. The legend at bottom right identifies the naval bases of the various countries involved in the effort and uses color-coding to indicate which countries are part of the Axis (green), conquered by the Axis (gray), former Axis countries conquered by the U.S. and Britain (red), and neutral (white). Two compass rose-like diagrams at bottom shows the distance and direction of various cities relative to Berlin and Tokyo. The bottom margin lists this as the 20th Edition in this popular series. The map was issued as a promotional piece for General Plating & Rustproofing Company in Minneapolis. Produced by C.C. Petersen Advertising in Toronto.
