Courtesy of the
Geography Department of the
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin we have been able to fill in
some gaps in the map coverage:
-
approx. 70 sheets of the German 1:300,000
map (Übersichtskarte von Mitteleuropa) covering the area
from France to Kazakhstan.
- several sheets of the
German 1:800,000 map and
Austro-Hungarian 1:750,000 map
- a few maps from a very rare German series "Deutsche Karte", in
1:50,000 scale:
3 small sheets from 1920s and
5 large-format sheets from 1938.
From the collection of
the Library of Congress:
a few sheets of a very rare
Austro-Hungarian 1:25,000 maps covering extensive fortifications of
Brest-Litowsk and surrounding area, and one sheet from a similar series
covering the fortifications of Luck, Dubno and Rowno. As the
set is currenctly incomplete, we will attempt to acquire the reminder
from Austrian sources.
From the
collection of a digital library of the
University of Wroclaw, Poland some 450 shets of a German
1:25,000 map (Messtischblatt) covering Śląsk (
see sheets on list beginning with No 3957
Rädnitz).
A few years ago, courtesy of the
Library of the Brigham Young University,
Utah, we were able to add several hundred post-WW2 American
copies of German Messtischblatt sheets covering East Prussia and,
generally, western Poland. We have finally made use of the other,
substantial part of the collection. It consists of American, British
and French editions of the 1:25,000 map from the territory of
present-day Germany. All in all
2550 some 2550 sheets (400 dpi) and some 50
more sheets from our collection (600 dpi).
Other new maps:
-
some 100 sheets of the Czechoslovak
1:200,000 map, dated 1919 - 1939
-
over 50 German 1:100,000 maps (Karte des
deutschen Reiches) dated 1920 - 1942
- an interesting map dated approx. 1941 - 1942, with a rather
self-explanatory title: "
Kreuzung der Autobahnen Breslau – Moskau
und Danzig bei Litzmannstadt”
Further updates can be expected - next year.
