Map Journal Entry #6

          This map is also a propaganda map. This one is created in the time of the Germany’s conquest.  This map, being a propaganda map, has missing elements since this type of map’s purpose is to convince the readers to the mapmaker’s belief, so words will be the primary ingredient in this map.

          But unlike the entry number 5 of the map journal, this map’s message is unclear.  It requires a lot of thinking on what this map is trying to say. After quite some time and some research, it has come to my mind that this map’s message is to show the dominance of the Nazis because of the idea that they already conquered the area South of Moscow. This map somehow shows the happenings during the Germany’s Operation Barbossa which is the invasion of the Soviet Union.
