Propaganda maps seem very popular during times of war to influence the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. This is a propaganda map dating from just before World War II, created by the Nazi-German side. It shows Czechoslovak bomber planes covering all of Germany. The article indicates that they were trying to convince the German public that the Czechoslovak side was responsible for the ‘threat’.
Note: I posted this map in June before the slides for week 11 were available. I later realized it was in them so I have added a different propaganda map at the end.
