Re: Turkish Security Battalions 1943

Hmm good point... I should have thought of that. The units were just listed as "Turk". I hope I didnt make a large error. Still seems like a huge amount to Turkoman units. Would that ethinic group been put into seperate units vs. "Ost" Battalions? I know there are many that were ...

Re: German situation maps on this site

Gary... that might be a tiny bit broad.. how about date ranges or areas? The next Ost areas I was thinking was Kurland or AG Nord.

Re: German situation maps on this site

A general note to all interested in certain maps, dates, units, regions, battles, ect. I have gotten a fair amount of PMs wanting to know when I will have certain maps scanned in, or if I can do certain maps sooner than later. The process for this is... I have to take a day off work (meaning using m...

Re: German situation maps on this site

Ah well, maybe not as exciting as a car but, unpublished original source maps of Normandy, Caen, German Air Attacks on the Normandy beach head and operation of SS and other units moving against Tito seem to have a bit of interest... at least I hope or this may be the last grouping I offer.

Re: Can anybody help in getting German maps???

Yes... but... You will not find a 1:25,000 scale map, but you may find a 1:50,000, 1:100,000, 1:250,000 or 1:300,000 scale German topo map at the American Geographical Society (AGS) Library at the University of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Re: Normandy Sitmaps

I have seen many maps that show pre war boundaries, that were used even in the late war years. In fact many of the standard 1:300,000 maps the Germans used were actually captured Soviet maps overprinted with German names, and updates. Also many German produced topo maps were printed on the back of &...

Re: Normandy Sitmaps

Here is another one. This map crop is from a map series showing the German air effort against the Normandy beachhead. This series covers 6-20 June 1944. The blue arrows indicate German sorties made in the day, and green arrows those made at night. German losses are indicated by the symbol for a prop...
