Maps For Designers? - Legion - 06-23-2007 Hi guys, I am hoping some of you history buffs can direct me to sources for historical maps of WWII battles, or even modern maps of historical places...Thanks in advance! Legion RE: Maps For Designers? - Big Dawg - 06-23-2007 Maps? When I think of maps two club members come to mind. Huib & Jason Pethro. Wish I could help more. RE: Maps For Designers? - Hobbes - 06-23-2007 Hi Legion, there are plenty of nice sites hidden away for particular battles but this is a good place to start :- http://www.army.mil/cmh/online/Bookshelves/WW2-List.htm Example (can be magnified) :- http://www.army.mil/cmh/books/wwii/lorraine/photos/map2.jpg Huib has a nice method of using Google Earth for accuracy. Cheers, Chris RE: Maps For Designers? - Huib Versloot - 06-23-2007 Send you an invitation by email to my scanned topo maps that are available online. Huib RE: Maps For Designers? - Legion - 06-24-2007 Thanks for the tips guys, anyone else? Jason? ;) RE: Maps For Designers? - Jason Petho - 06-24-2007 RE: Maps For Designers? - Legion - 06-26-2007 Hi again, My biggest problem is finding East Front maps - but in general, I'm looking for any kind of "jump start" to my searches, either on the web or out there in the real world. I read German well and my sister can do a little Russian, so primary sources aren't a problem....Thanks! Legion RE: Maps For Designers? - Jason Petho - 06-26-2007 Here you can find most of the semi-modern East Front in Russian at 1:200,000. Although not the ideal scale for East Front mapping, you can get by. They are all downloadable, but it will take you a LONG, LONG time to download them all. http://maps.poehali.org/en/?x=33.5&y=45&z=3&m=0 Enjoy Jason Petho RE: Maps For Designers? - Legion - 06-26-2007 Okay, thanks Jason! BTW here's a site I've found in my recent travels, some great eye-candy for Stalingrad fans - the 3D maps are pretty remarkable --- http://www.fireonthevolga.com/ RE: Maps For Designers? - berts - 07-09-2007 I'm interested in creating modern war scenarios set in Germany, Korea and Saudi Arabia. What would be a good way to generate maps for these areas?
