Maps For Designers?

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!

Maps?

When I think of maps two club members come to mind.

Huib & Jason Pethro.

Wish I could help more.

Hi Legion, there are plenty of nice sites hidden away for particular battles but this is a good place to start :-

Example (can be magnified) :-

Huib has a nice method of using Google Earth for accuracy.
Cheers, Chris

Send you an invitation by email to my scanned topo maps that are available online.

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!

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.

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 ---
