EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative relief map by G.H. Davis, titled "From Thermopylae to Athens: the last valiant British retreat," offers a poignant visual representation of the final stages of the glorious rearguard action during the Battle of Greece in the Second World War. Dated between 21-26 April 1941, the map provides a bird's-eye view of the strategic withdrawal of British and Allied forces from Thermopylae to Athens. The map's southward perspective highlights the rugged terrain of the Greek landscape, with the Gulf of Corinth and the Aegean Sea visible in the distance. The relief map accurately depicts the key locations of the battle, including Thermopylae, Athens, the Peloponnesus, the Corinthia Pass, and the islands of Aegina, Attica, Euboea, and Boeotia. The map vividly illustrates the desperate struggle of the Allied forces as they retreated from the narrow pass at Thermopylae, where they had initially held off the advancing German and Italian armies. The map shows the retreating forces passing through the towns of Lamia, Oreo, and Atalante, and the eventual arrival in Athens. The relief map serves as a powerful reminder of the heroic efforts of the Allied forces during the Battle of Greece, a crucial turning point in the Second World War. Davis' meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the battle in this map make it an invaluable historical resource.
