EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative map by G.H. Davis, created in 1941, illustrates the growing German threat to the Americas during World War II through the expansion of Lufthansa airlines in Latin America. The map highlights the extensive network of German-controlled air routes stretching from Brazil to Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, and Peru, encroaching on the territories traditionally served by Pan-American Airways. The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans frame the map, emphasizing the potential for a converging war movement against the Panama Canal, a vital strategic point for maritime trade and military access. The map's title, "German Threat to America and Panama: Lufthansa Airlines in Latin America," underscores the geopolitical significance of these airlines during wartime. Lufthansa's expansion into Latin America not only challenged Pan-American Airways' dominance but also posed a potential military threat as the German air fleet could be used to transport troops, supplies, and intelligence between Europe and the Americas. Countries depicted on the map, including Cuba, Colombia, and the West Indies, were crucial staging grounds for both German and Allied forces during the war. The map's intricate details, such as the various air routes and their connecting cities, provide a fascinating glimpse into the strategic maneuvering of the time. This historical map is a reminder of the complex geopolitical landscape of World War II and the role that airlines played in shaping the course of the conflict. As we reflect on the past, we can appreciate the importance of understanding the interconnectedness of global events and the role that transportation networks, such as airlines, play in shaping our world.
