Description: Four diagrammatic posters, printed by and marked "Fritz Busche Druckereiges M.B.H., Dortmund (Germany)" were made available to soldiers by the US Army at the end of the war. No copyright information is given or implied on the poster. The posters depict the detailed movements, by date, with military battlefield symbols on stylized maps, of the 79th Infantry Division during its four campaigns during WWII. Each poster summarizes one battle campaign. The posters each measure 33.75 inch (85.7 cm) wide by 26.25 inch (66.7 cm) tall. They are signed in the lower-right corner by Henry D. White and Steve Kalihan(? unclear writing) or Steve Kaliber(? unclear writing), presumably the artists/authors of the posters.
