WWII Cloth Escape Map

"These are museum quality of the highly sought after WW2 ZONES OF FRANCE escape/evasion map issued to paratroopers and aircrews flying missions over Europe during WW2 (especially D-Day). Originally commissioned by Intelligence School No. 9 (IS9) in February 1944 in preparation for the upcoming invasion, these maps were issued in escape kits along with a small compass and hacksaw blade (see my other listings) just prior to the invasion.

We have worked for more than 3 years to create one (if not thee) best reproduction ever made of this highly sought after cloth map. Created using an original map that was jumped into Normandy on D-Day, it holds the characteristics of the original map including the size, color, shape, and feel. Printed on a cotton/silk blend fabric, it perfectly matches the weight, feel, texture, and opacity of my original map (see comparison photos for reference).

These make great display or practical use pieces at a fraction of the cost of an original map and if you tie it as a scarf around your neck (as pictured) it is indistinguishable from an original."
