A small, Christmas update: approx. 130 small-scale US maps dated 1942 - 1953. Originally most sheets were produced by the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) and Department of State, and from 1947 onwards, by CIA. The maps are mainly related to strategic and geopolitical events unfolding in Central and Eastern Europe. It is a rather subjective selection, including some, somewhat unusual in 2020, like a series of maps of the USSR showing areas "off-limits" to foreigners (by the look of it, about 90%). The recurring motif is, naturally, cold-come-hot war, sometimes only hovering in the wings, elsewhere, displayed bluntly. 600 dpi scans come from the University of Stanford, California, libraries, while 300 dpi from the US National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)

Other, similar (and dissimilar) maps can be viewed and downloaded (save target as...) at NARA website (currently approx. 3000 maps)

A certain... "supplement" is a set of 9 sheets, one-colour reproduction of WIG 1:300,000 maps. This "edition" comes from 1946 r. in the US Department of State, and they show a new, "eastern boundary of Poland" with the USSR.

And, in a staggered update, courtesy of the McMaster University of Canada, approx. 200 Soviet 1:100 000 maps (including, at least several Finnish reproductions dated 1940 - 1942, for rather obvious context) as well as 37 German, WW2 variants, i.e. Russland 1:100 000 dated 1941 - 1943.

And, for the very, very end of this rather unusual year... a minor update - a preview of what's coming in 2021 (the clue here is the name of the collection ;)
