Daily Express War Map [of Europe]
Large-format Daily Express War Map of Europe, published by George Philip & Son for the Daily Express at the beginning of WWII. Coloured to distinguish belligerent, neutral, occupied and contested territories, it covers Europe from Ireland and Iberia to western Russia and the Balkans, with railways, canals, principal cities and comparative scale bars. A striking left-hand panel, “Study their war strength from this chart”, compares populations, armies, navies and air forces of Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Romania, Hungary and Turkey. The map-state points to late 1939/early 1940: Poland is divided between German and Soviet occupation and the legend describes Soviet Russia as allied with Germany, while Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Denmark and Norway remain neutral and France unconquered. A vivid popular newspaper map of the war’s opening phase.
