- approx. 230 sheets of a German WW1 maps of Western Russia, 1:25,000 from the area of Estonia (mainly).

- several sheets of the German Osteuropa / Übersichtskarte von Mitteleuropa, 1:300,000
- a few sheets of the German 1:200,000 Topographische Übersichtskarte des Deutschen Reiches
- a few German town plans (München, Hamburg, Nuremberg), and a town plan of Łódź dated approx. 1938. A few other interesting plans, eg. Posen, dated 1940 are, unfortunately of very low resolution, so they're practically of no use. A selection of już przeskanowane by the Münchener Digitalisierungzentrum can be viewed here.
