EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd in July 1939, provides a stark illustration of the distances between major European cities and London during the onset of World War II. The map highlights the proximity of key cities, including Moscow, Danzig, Warsaw, Berlin, and Venice, to the British capital, underscoring the likelihood of air raids as tensions between European powers escalated. The map serves as a poignant reminder of the geopolitical landscape of Europe on the brink of conflict. Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, was located over 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) east of London, while Danzig, a free city located at the mouth of the Vistula River, was only 700 miles (1,100 kilometers) away. Warsaw, the capital of Poland, was similarly close, just under 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) from London. Berlin, the capital of Nazi Germany, was approximately 850 miles (1,370 kilometers) to the southwest. Venice, an Italian city on the Adriatic Sea, was over 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) to the south. The proximity of these cities to London, particularly those under the control of aggressive and expansionist regimes, heightened the sense of urgency and vulnerability felt by the British people as the threat of air raids loomed. This map offers a glimpse into the geopolitical realities of the time, providing valuable context to the events leading up to the outbreak of the Second World War.
