A great invasion involves tremendous preparation and a million details. Maps for invasion. This is a small corner of a U. S. Army Topographical Unit, somewhere in England, which prints military maps for use in the large-scale invasion of Europe. Pfc. Lauren Danford, Clayton, Ohio, works on the paper cutter while Pvt. Angelo Delasani, New York, piles the cut paper for delivery to the press room.
