With permission and great help from the
library of the Geography Department, Uniwersytet Łódzki, Poland, we have
managed to scan a large number of interesting maps, many of which could
not be found elsewhere. The first batch includes WIG maps (1:25,000)
scale:
-
197 sheets published by WIG (1930 - 1939)
& 132 German sheets published by Reichsamt fuer Landesaufnahme and
Kriegskarten und Vermessungsamts (1939 – 1945)
- Two older sheets from 1920s in different numbering system (
Obóz Raducz) &
Opalenie (Rejon Wisła), as well
as
Sheet No 5 (Rejon Pomorze, Miechowo)
from the collection of the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland.
The next larger update to this map series can be expected by
mid-2017.
From the same collection a few interesting town plans:
-
Posen
(including
street names on the reverse),
Petrikau (Piotrków Trybunalski)
&
Tomaschow
(Tomaszów Mazowiecki) – all of them are German plans dated 1944,
-
Karthaus
(Kartuzy) – unfortunately only one of the unknown number
of very detailed (1:2,500) plan produced by the Hauptvermessungsabteilung
XV (Danzig) in 1942.
- We have added another batch of approx.
200 maps to the previously released German
1:25,000 maps from WW1 which come from the Geography Department of the
Humboldt University, Berlin. Although the numbering
system is different, the maps are based on the same Russian 1:21,000 -
1:84,000 maps. Please note that some sheets come with two editions with
the same date, yet with different level of detail - one edition is based
on 1:84,00 2-verst map, while the next one based on the 1:42,000
(one-verst) map.
There is also something we overlooked to mention, i.e. at the beginning of
September we added a large number of Romanian maps from
geo-spacial.org
project:
-
1:20
000,
-
1:100
000,
If you are looking for other editions of the 1:100,000 maps, some might be
found among WW2 British copies of the same series (
GSGS 4417 Romania 1:100,00) from
the collection of
McMaster
University, Canada.
