own collection

Germany within post-WW2 borders.
Older edition, dated 1943 - 1944 are re-printed copies of, sometimes,
rather old editions of German Topographische Karte (Messtischblatt).
From 1944 onwards, most editions were updated from air photography. The
series is called, interchangably (sometimes) as GSGS 4414, and AMS M
841, elsewhere GSGS 4414 (AMS M841) or AMS M841 (GSGS 4414). Several
sheets prepared for and / or published by the French Service
Géographique des Forces Françaises
en Allemagn. Later, post-WW2 editions produced under the BAOR (British
Army of the Rhine), although the bulk of the sheets are the work of
AMS, for USAREUR (United States Army Europe).
In time, also (west) German istitutions participated in the series,
particularly the Land Survey Offfice (LSO) based in Frankfurt a.M.,
later incorporated into the Instituts für Erdmessung (Institute for
Geodesy).
