Default WW2 Northwest Europe maps

One of my duties to Her Majesty is unit historian for the Canadian Forces' mapping unit. I hold a few dozen 1944 and 45 maps made by one of our predecessor units. I can happily plot off a few copies of France, Netherlands or Germany. Not much choice in where, just whatever dufflebag souvenirs have circulated back to the royal us. These qualify as Non Public Property and sharing is the order of the day.

Always open for trades and copies of other NW Europe Canadian-made maps.

Default Thanks

Terry and Rob,

Thanks. I'm now at the pointed end of what promises to be a big wedge. The Kit for my Lynx 11. I have decided to restore my Lynx to represent one commanded by Corporal James Paterson, MM, D squadron, Royal Canadian Dragoons, during the first week of September 1944. During this period the RCD was active along the Adriatic coast, south of Rimini.
Being 'old school', I think that the appropriate period maps that they would have used would be a logical first step.

Peter

I now have some period correct 1:200,00 maps sourced.

PM me the link to the sheet you like. I have to do some professional skills refresher work on the 36" plotter, a couple of times.
