A 1939 annotated map of Nazi aggression and emerging World War II “theaters of war.”

This illustrated pictorial map of the early European Theater of World War II was included in the Los Angeles Times as a bonus item for readers. The map features decorative images of World War II-era warfare, including naval vessels, aircraft, and tanks, in its margins, as well as the instructions for readers of the Los Angeles Times to mount and preserve the map to reference it as the war progressed. The headline “Save this Map!” indicates that the 1941 newspaper subscribers who received it in their paper should expect to use it during years of war to come.
