This map was part of the prelude to Alistair MacLean's Force 10 from Navarone, Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1968. I am not sure whether the map has any historic significance.
“’80 percent of our air drops fall in German hands, but that is not important. Those supplies are militarily expendable. What are not expendable are the 7000 men under the command of General Vukalovic here, 7000 men trapped in an area called the Zenica Cage, 7000 starving men with almost no ammunition left, 7000 men with no future.’”
I recently acquired this volumne, a sequel to MacLean's "Guns of Navarone". It has already got its hook in me and so far it has been a good read.
