This map features maps of France and Germany. It can be dated to circa 1941 as the international boundaries for 1939 and 1941 are noted.During World War II, the United States and Great Britain produced in excess of 3.5 million silk maps and cloth maps for Allied military personnel to use as escape maps. In 1940, the British military intelligence unit, MI9, started issuing silk maps, in conjunction with the map makers Bartholomews, for use by British aircrews shot down over enemy occupied territory in Europe. Similar maps were later also smuggled into POW camps in Germany along with other escape aids to encourage POWs to attempt escape. Silk was an ideal material as it was quiet and rustle-free, easy to hide or sew inside clothing, and durable.
