Dated 1944 this extremely rare, one-sided, German map is heavily marked with combat annotations of one of the most infamous battles of France during WWII. This very large map is two WWII German maps combined together to form one large map of the entire length of the battlefield area (meaning this could be the ONLY of the Battle of Arracourt a Panzer soldier strategically combined two maps to encompass the entire area more easily). The Battle of Arracourt took place during the Lorraine Campaign of World War II. As part of a counteroffensive against recent U. Advances in France, the German 5th Panzer Army had as its objective the recapture of Lunéville and the elimination of the XII Corps bridgehead over the Moselle River at Dieulouard.
What makes this map so rare are the extensive markings and combat annotations done by the German Army and Panzer soldiers. Done in various ink and pencil instruments this map shows clear evidence of having been extensively carried and used during almost the entire length of the battle and possibly by many different people. This map shows the entire battlefield including areas such as ARRACOURT, MONCOURT, JUVRECOURT, and so many more! This combined German map shows the entire battlefield.
