Up for auction is a genuine, original World War II British War Office military map of France, officially dated November 1943.

Compiled and printed during a crucial turning point in the war, this map was part of the secret intelligence and logistical build-up leading to Operation Overlord (the D-Day landings) in 1944.

Official Markings: Stamped with the official restrictions: "FOR MILITARY USE ONLY" and "NOT TO BE PUBLISHED".

Serial / Code Numbers: Features the official War Office reference code: M.D.R. 601/10043 in the bottom left-hand corner.

Scale: 1 : 2,000,000 scale, meticulously detailing national boundaries, main railways, and secondary railway networks rather than general civilian roadways.

The map is in good vintage condition for its age. It has been stored folded, so the original fold lines are present with some expected light creasing. The edges are largely intact, and the printing, stamps, and dates remain completely legible. Please review the high-resolution photos carefully to judge the exact condition for yourself.

A fantastic, authentic piece of WWII home-front planning history. Perfect for any militaria collector or framing project.
