Approximately 150 town
plans have been added, most of them from Central and Eastern Europe,
but quite a few from other areas, e.g. the Balkans, UK, France, Germany
and Italy.
As usual, new scans have been highted in the lists
Some higlights: detailed plans of Gibraltar, several German war-time
plans of British towns, detailed German plans of several towns in
Pommern (north-western Poland), and a copy, rather ugly, of a German
town plan of Marienbad - famous Czech resort of Mariánské Lázne - it
appears the copy was in use by some US troops (3rd Army?) which
reachead the western part of Czechoslovakia in April / May 1945.
We have also added two "zone maps" of Hanover and Dresden, which were
prepared for the carpet bombing raids in 1944 / 1945.
New maps:
- some 20 – 30 sheets of WIG
1:25,000 map, both Polish pre-war and German war-time variants.
Resolution and quality not that great but will need to do until we
source original maps from another location.
- 12 sheets of the older WIG
1:25,000 editions from south-east Poland (Bieszczady).
These maps are reprints of earlier, Austro-Hungarian 1:25,000 maps.
