25th December 2024 - mapster update
1
A minor Christmas & New Year update:
- several 1:400 000 Polish maps (Mapa
operacyjna), copies or re-worked sheets of the
Austro-Hungarian Operationskarte
(a number of the sheets available in mapster), most from the collection
of a Polona, digital arm of the National Library of Poland. Some of the
newly added
maps are by IWG - Instytut Wojskowo-Geograficzny dated 1920, others
(black&white) sheets possibly dated 1919 and possibly produced by
the
Dowodztwo Glowne, Kartografia, Poznan (Army Headquarters Cartography
Department). Given they lack any specific info, it's just a hunch.
From the collection fo the University of Berkeley:
- approx. 300 sheets of the joint (x4 sheets
combined) German
maps called Russland 1:100 000. Older sheets, from around
1940 -
1941, are re-worked Soviet 1:200,000 maps, while the newer ones, up to
1944, are based on the Soviet 1:100,000 maps and German air photos.
- approx. 95 sheets of the 'Map of the European Russia (Karte des
europaeischen Russland), 1:300 000. It is a re-scaled and
re-worked Russian 1:420,000 (10-verst) map, so-called 'Strielbicki
map'; the German edition by Reichsamt fuer
Landesaufnahme is dated 1939 - 1941, with a couple of undated sheets
from Crimea, possibly from 1942. The map, despite the name, extends
further east than just the European part of the USSR. University of
Berkeley set is very interesting, because the sheets are 'complete',
which this map
series is usually known only in part-preserved copies, re-used in
1944-45 to print other maps.
There's no current (active, clickable) mapster index but we have two
original German index sheets at the bottom of the map list; the one
from 1940 shows the complete coverage of this map series.
- one interesting railway map (Eisenbahnkarte Europaeisches Russland),
probabaly one of the annexes of a report by Fremde Heere Ost II dated
1942.
- a few rare German WW2 town plans from
Ukraine (and other areas of Eastern Europe). By the way, as
the Memel (Klaipeda)
town plan is particularly illegible at 300 dpi, we will scan it
at full resolution (600 dpi) elsewhere.
- from our own collection, approx. 30 sheets of a Soviet 1:200,000
map, mainly from Belarus.
