This is a 1941 Petersen / Westinghouse / Turner map of Europe embroiled in World War II (1939 - 1945), published weeks before the June 22, 1941, German invasion of the Soviet Union. The map chronicles events from the Anschluss of Austria in 1938 and the Nazi invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, until June 3, 1942. While unsigned, this map was most likely drawn by Stanley Francis Turner, who went on to complete a popular series of similar maps for Westinghouse chronicling the progress of war. It is likely, thus, that this is Turner's first 'war map.' (more details)

This 1944 Stanley Francis Turner map of Europe, Africa, and Asia illustrates the world on the eve of 1945, the final year of World War II (1939 - 1945). Text boxes scattered throughout chronicle important wartime events, including the D-Day invasion of France, the liberation of Paris, and MacArthur's return to the Philippines, along with numerous others. The United Nations are shaded red, while land controlled by the Axis is green. Light green areas (limited to Asia only) illustrate conquered areas still controlled by the Axis. Countries are labeled and bear their flag, while world capitals are marked by yellow banners and small icons of buildings. Illustrations of airplanes and warships dot the map. Aerial distance charts to Berlin and Tokyo also appear. A small inset along the bottom border illustrates southern Africa and Madagascar and uses the same color scheme to portray alliances.
