マレー作戰經過要圖 [Outline map of the course of the Malaya Campaign]
The Japanese conquest of Malaya, told as Tokyo wished it remembered: this campaign map traces the advance from the landings at Singora, Pattani and Kota Bharu on 8 December 1941 to Johore Bahru, opposite Singapore, in less than eight weeks. Blue arrows and dated stages sweep down the Malay Peninsula, red bars mark Allied defence lines, and command posts punctuate the route past Alor Star, Kuala Lumpur and Kuantan. Roads, rivers and mountain ranges show the country the campaign crossed. It was originally published on 8 November 1942 as one of two folding maps in the Malaya volume of Asahi Shimbun’s History of the Greater East Asia War, an Army Ministry-sponsored series. We have found no other example offered by a Western dealer.
