This vintage original WWII campaign map poster was issued before the end of WWII and shows the route and battles of the Second United States “Hell on Wheels” Armored Division. The map shows the route of the Hell on Wheels Division from landing in Normandy in June 1944 up to breaching the Siegfried Line and reaching the Roer River on November 28, 1944. At least one later edition of this map was issued after the war in Europe ended but this is the 1944 first edition. This map is printed one side only and the lower margin indicates “Passed by Censor” and shows the map creator’s initials as “M.E.B.”.

This vintage original poster map is folded and shows moderate wear including some creasing and wear on the edges. The map shows some toning from age, a bit of scattered foxing in places and few small spots. Overall condition is good.
