Lookin for help on WWII US Army Germany Maps
Sep 9, 2012 10:33 AM

I acquired a handfull of maps of Germany from WWII era .  They do not show fold lines and look to have been rolled up.  They came from the estate of a WWII Vet. and history buff.

 

The maps all say "Copied from German Topographische Karte (with dates from the mid 1930's to early 1940's).  They also have the dates the maps were revised by the different US Army Engineers (Nov 1944-Jan1945).  I find no other dates that indicate they may have been printed or re-issued at later dates.

 

I've seen lots of topo maps and studied army map reading in school.  These maps do not look like what I'm accustomed to for Army maps.  And I've not seen good comparables searching eBay Listings.

 

I'm looking for some help identifying these to properly name and list them.

Thanks in advance.

I received your message.  Thanks.  I went to the site and only one

map was pictured.  I could not pin-point any specific details and

and can't be of any help to you, as far as identifying anything on it.

Quite possibly, the maps are probably reprints of the original

German maps.  Sorry, I can't be of any help.  Were you considering

including the maps with the rangefinder?  Just thought I'd ask.

Regards,

Lon
