I'm trying to track down my late father's movemnts across Germany during April to May 1945 when he served in the 1st Battalion Royal Ulster Rifles. I have his service record and various useful references including this one: Headquarters, 6th Airlanding Brigade The maps mentioned are 1:250,000 DUSSELDORF Sheet K 52 1:250,000 OSNABRUCK Sheet K 53 HANNOVER 1:250,000 Sheet L53 1:100,000 M.5 SALZWEDEL CENTRAL EUROPE 1:100,000 Sheet 65 LAUENBURG 1:100,000 Sheet K 6 ROSTOCK Where can I find these maps to download? I'm OK with 6 digit map references assuing they are similar to OS grid refrences but what do references like these mean? 1 RUR at 0596 on main road to LENGERICH PW taken by 1 RUR states that cross roads 3705 is held with two 88mm guns and two companies of infantry spread around houses 1 RUR entered BUER 4606 1 RUR have taken over LAHDE 8520 Thanks in anticipation.
This is a useful mosaic of all 1:100ks if you have a general area: Europe A.M.S. / G.S.G.S. map 1:100,000 WWII Lookup of many maps by series and online links if known: New Resource - Topographic & Town/City Maps
Thanks - good find. I'd like to download the maps quoted so I can then stich them anda nnotate them in Photoshop.
