CONTEXT AND TRANSLATION of Der Mittelmeerraum (above)

This booklet, printed in Germany during World War II, reflects how maps were used to interpret and communicate the progress of the war to the public.

The pages reference the relationship between the front lines and the home f ront, presenting maps as a tool not only for navigation, but for shaping understanding.

Distributed through bookstores and kiosks, these materials made the movement of the war visible to civilians.

In contrast to the personal memorandum carried by my father, this publication represents the structured and controlled narrative of wartime information.
