B. Davis 20th Armored Division World War II pictorial route map of Europe. The map focuses on travels of the Combat Command A (CCA) of the 20th Armored Division.The map follows CCA from Camp Campbell, Kentucky (where the division finished training) through Boston (where it embarked for the European Theater of Operations) to Le Havre, France. After leaving Le Havre, the division spent a month in combat preparation before entering the field on April 4, 1945, with CCA crossing the Rhine on April 10. Red text provides short summaries of CCA's advance, marking command posts, noting locations where POWs were captured, and identifying locations of two liberated extermination camps, including Dachau. Intriguingly, the end of the war appears in the same text as the rest of the events of the campaign. Unlike many other maps in the genre, relatively few pictorial vignettes are included. The few that do illustrate the train to Boston, the ship across the Atlantic, and the ruins of the various cities. The one combat related illustration is the appearance of 'Bed Check Charlie' (a nickname given by soldiers to solitary enemy planes that hovered over their lines) between Hanau and Bad Orb, when 'Charlie' strafed CCA's column.
