Real nice map, professionally done. I guess the publisher thought so too!  :lmfao:

The translated article hurts my head.
Curious though. They didn't need the makers permission first ?

I assume they thought it was an actual 1960 map and couldn't reach Friedlander & Johnson so they just went with it.

Pity it did not include a graphic about the Giant Ants of Brest-Litovsk.
