This item is a custom printed tile accessory, designed to be held by a toy minifigure or used in a military-themed diorama. It is likely a 2×2 tile, a common size for such custom pieces.
The tile displays a detailed military campaign map. Specifically, the map illustrates a simplified overview of Operation Barbarossa, the code name for the German-led Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, which launched on June 22, 1941, during World War II.
You can identify the event from several key details on the map:
- The territory being invaded is labeled “UdSSR,” which is the German abbreviation for the USSR (Soviet Union). The sea to the northwest is labeled “Ostsee,” German for the Baltic Sea.
- The three massive black arrows show the main axes of advance for the invasion, corresponding to the three German Army Groups: Army Group North moving towards Leningrad, Army Group Centre towards Moscow, and Army Group South towards Kiev and Stalingrad.
- The map shows the immense scale of the front, making it one of the most recognizable campaigns in military history.
