EDITORS COMMENTS
This contour map of northern Tunisia, created by renowned cartographer G.H. Davis in 1943, offers a glimpse into the strategic battleground that was expected to determine the outcome of the North African campaign during the Second World War. The terrain and communications depicted in this map were the focus of intense conflict between Axis and Allied forces, with the former led by German and Italian troops, and the latter comprised of three Allied armies: the British First Army, the American II Corps, and the French First Army. The map reveals the intricate details of the rugged and diverse landscape of northern Tunisia, including the coastal cities of Bizerta, Tunis, and Hammamet, as well as the mountainous regions of the Dorsale and the Tell. The Gulf of Tunis and the Mediterranean Sea are also clearly marked, highlighting the significance of maritime control in this pivotal campaign. An inset map on the bottom right of the print illustrates the advance of British General Bernard Montgomery's Eighth Army from the south, providing context to the broader strategic situation. The map serves as a poignant reminder of the intense struggle for control of this territory, which was expected to secure full dominance of the Mediterranean and ultimately influence the course of the wider war. This historical map offers a unique perspective on the complex geography and military strategy that shaped the outcome of the North African campaign during the Second World War.
