8th October 2018 - a map update

Courtesy of the State Archive in Poznan, Poland, we have scanned 130 sheets of the Grossblatt / Einheitsblatt maps and approx. 250 town plans from their colletion. The plans cover mostly Eastern & Central Europe, Germany and Baltic countries. There are some plans from other European countries, a plan of St. Petersburg and Russia, and Sosnowiec (that's in Poland!). All scans are 600 dpi, therefore some files can go up to 100 Mb, hence a word of advice: don't try to open them in your web browser, download instead and open on your computer via any imaging software. The file size (in Mb) is available in each map / plan data sheet, e.g. this one.
As several dozen town plans have no "slot" in the mapster index sheets, for now they can be only accessed through the lists linked above.

We have also managed to process two more Mil-Geo brochure (Mil-geo Einzelangaben für die Trupperführung zum Einheitsblatt...) from the Library of Congress collection. This time the brochures in pdf format are for the Grossblatt No 66 (Frankfurt a.d. Oder - Kuestrin - Landsberg a.d. Warthe - Zielenzig) and No 67 (Meseritz - Birnbaum). The brochures should those interested in industrial history of the area (bridges!), although some scans' quality suffers, because the two volumes were bound very tightly.
Another update can be expected around the turn of October / November.

Can I get some guidance on the projection that WIG cartographers used on the 1 to 100,000 maps?
