Summary

Project '44 is an interactive digital platform that provides insights into the wartime experiences of Allied troops in Europe through a time-series map enhanced with 3D terrain, offering users a more immersive understanding of historical events. By incorporating elements like photographs, war diaries, and aerial imagery, it allows families to trace their relatives' journeys and researchers to map out historical events, including war atrocities and missing soldiers. Since its launch in 2018 by co-founders Drew Hannen and Nathan Kehler, Project '44 has expanded its storytelling capabilities to commemorate personal wartime sacrifices, such as the story of Sgt Samuel Hurwitz, Canada's most decorated Jewish soldier. The platform draws from the research of The Canadian Research and Mapping Association and aims to engage users by providing a new perspective on history, as well as inspiring others to create similar historical map experiences using its low-code solutions.
