I own a globe that could have only existed for 6 months in 1939 pic.twitter.com/IL6Slm4bOX

X user DJ Branham shares a photo of an unusual globe that he found at an antiques store in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He mentions that it would have been accurate for only about six months.
The globe shows then-recent annexations by Nazi Germany that were at least tolerated if not accepted by the major powers of Europe. Poland is still independent, but all of Czechoslovakia is in German hands, so the globe must date between March 16 and July 31, 1939.
One commenter dates the globe as prior to July 29, 1939, as it shows Hatay under the control of French Syria instead of Turkey.
