Also to offer:

"Serial Map Service" (from March 1946: "Serial Maps")
Near-complete run of maps from #1 to #397.
No commentaries.

Serial Map Service was a British  monthly serial Sept 1939- 1948, which
published each month 4-5 colour thematic maps, and an 8-10 page set of
essays about them. There were 450 maps in total over the 102 issues.
The maps covered military manouevers during the war, but also general
economic/strategic/cultural/thematic topics about all countries of the
world.

This 2-inch pile of maps (rougly A4 in size, some larger and folded
down) has suffered damage in storage over the years, but is useful for
filling gaps in a partial set if you have one, or many of the maps would
be individually salvagable.
