EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map, titled "Map of the Front Zone in Tunisia, North Africa," was created by renowned cartographer G.H. Davis in 1943. The map provides a detailed view of the North African country of Tunisia during a pivotal moment in World War II. The map's focus is on the 'Front Zone,' the area of intense military activity between the Allied and Axis forces during the North African Campaign. At the time of this map's creation, the Allied forces, led by the United States and Great Britain, were making significant strides in their efforts to push back the Axis powers, who were led by Germany and Italy. The capture of the port city of Mateur, marked on the map, was a crucial turning point in the campaign. The successful capture of Mateur opened up the road to Tebourba and Djedeida, allowing the Allies to advance further into Tunisia and ultimately secure the region. The map offers a fascinating glimpse into the strategic landscape of the war in North Africa. Key features depicted include the Mediterranean Sea and the Tunisian coastline, with the Gulf of Hammamet and the coastal towns of Bizerta and Tunis prominently displayed. The map also highlights various military installations, roads, and other important landmarks. The map's historical significance is underscored by its creation date, 1943, a year that saw the Allied forces make significant gains against the Axis powers in North Africa. The map is a testament to the meticulous work of cartographers like G.H. Davis, who played a vital role in helping the Allied forces navigate the complex and ever-changing battlefield. This map is an essential addition to any collection of World War II history or cartography.
