I can't say you what we are exactly looking at but here is what i'm seeing.

- The 2 offshore isle's. they have a quite thick black shadow on the the southern side.... Suggesting this might be rocky isle's

- The larger Isle on the left has a connection with the mainland. My guess is that on low tide a road or a patch of crossable sand emerges above the water.

- It seems there are a lot of streems heading from the inalnd in to the ocean/sea/lake.

- For those who think dis is defenitly not Anzio nor Salerno.

- The color of the terrain. It looks muddyish.

- the Shoreline, if any, seems to be very small

-the weird brown patch on the right. Its man made thats for sure... no object in nature that will look like this...

- Altough ist seems like there are a lot of streams. there doesnt seem to be extreme large Height diffrence's

- THe color of the map made me think of a afrika 40-41 map :P or is this me hitting the spot??

hahaha Right. Good luck guys

Ok i'm quite clueless right now... I bet this isn't pacific theathre as most of the beaches are white(ish) over there. And the inland is usually very green. So i just went over some places like Cuba and the Falklands. But they wheren't it...

I guess i need another hint... What war or wich period was this? ww2 or pre or post?

Cheers Buck

Right, I got the answer. This is Port San Carlos where members of 3 Para landed on green beach during the falkland war operations.

took me a while and a little help of wikipedia.

cheers Buck
