My wife found a treasure trove Life Magazines from the 1940's on the curb. The issue from 75 years ago today has some excellent maps showing the war situation.
In addition to this overall map are three maps showing greater details of the western, southern and eastern fronts.
A zoomed in view shows the slow movement of the line of Allied control in Normandy between June 6 and August 18th, 1944.
The Southern Front map shows the recent landings in southern France.
The simple and clearly readable topography is a nice touch. Here is the Eastern Front.
Here is a little detail with the August 18, 1944 battle line clearly shown.
