The US Army Corps of Engineers Supply Maps With "Contours"
| In more ways than one... The Corps of Engineers placed pin-ups on the front of map update documents during WWII. This was an attempt to assure that the person in command of a unit, but also the common GI (according to the remark: "For general distribution. NOT for staff use only") would use the latest available maps. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The "contours" remark is a double entendre. The female obviously has contours, and plenty of them. The back of the documents depict the latest map series and reminds the men that any of the several hundred maps listed and marked in red are available in a new edition from the Engineers. I found these great products from the Engineer Corps at Propaganda Leaflets of the Second World War , a nifty site. I can just imagine the dialogue... SGT: "Hey Sir, did you get a map update yet? LT: "um... no, not yet." SGT: "Hey Sir, did you get a map update yet? LT: "no, not yet." SGT: "Hey Sir, did you get a map update yet? LT: "No! Damn it!" SGT: "Hey Sir, did you get a map update yet? |
