18 June 2012 - an update
1 A few dozen maps (various) have been added to Mapster:
1.    Several sheets of the Bildplan (sometimes "Bildskizze" or "Bildplanwerk", including one, unfortunately incomplete, but with a respectable resolution of 1200 dpi - south part of Poznan, in western Poland.
2.   A few Messtischblatt (Topographische Karte) sheets in 1:25,000,  600 dpi, rather than the usual 400 dpi: Lewin Brzeski, Ostatni Grosz, Breslau-Lissa, PopÅ‚aw, Kostrzyn and Lendzin. The last two sheets are particularly interesting: the Küstrin sheet is one of the "Geheim" (secret) sheets, showing the fortifications in and around the town, which were erased from other, civilian editions. Lendzin sheet has some hand-drawn and planned route of a "Reichautobahn” on a short stretch between "Gleiwitz" and "Krakau", and another planned road (north-south) towards a "planned airport".
3.    Several German 1:50,000 maps from the Ukraine, based on Soviet originals (1943 and 1944).
4.    Two Austro-Hungarian 1:75,000 maps (Steniatyn and KamieÅ„ Koszyrski), in 600 and 400 dpidpi. The quality of print is poor, it's probably a field edition dated 1916, but both sheets contain, if you look closely enough, field narrow gauge, WW1 railways, which are not marked on any later maps of that area.
5.    A few Polish 1:25,000 maps by WIG (Raszyn, Warszawa Praga, Mokotów, Wola). They do not fill up any gaps in the coverage for us, but are interesting, pre-WW2 editions nevertheless. One of them, (LubotyÅ„ Stary) contains an interesting set of stamps and signatures on the reverse, whil Tarnawa and Kolbuszowa are pre-production sheets including hand-made corrections, later added to the print run korekcyjne. Also interesting, is a German edition of a sheet Majdan pod KolbuszowÄ…, probably dated 1944. It was made from some original Polish survey material by WIG, and it also includes military and other installations and structures added by the Germans (large training groud in the area). Some of those updates are rather... obvious, but others, less visible.

We have also managed to bring under (some) control the sub-page on mapywig.org with German maps dated 1919 - 1945. Now we will do the same with the German maps dated - 1919. The changes are simplification of the layout were necessary, as adding new scans to the ever growing lists of maps and updating old sheets takes an awful amount of time, which could be used, instead to tidy up the site and add new materials. And yes, there is plenty of new material, which should start appearing by end of this week.
