No, these are not the same thing. The OSS maps where produced between
1942-1945 by the cartographers in the OSS.
They usually say "drawn in the Geography Division, O.S.S." or "drawn in
R. and A., OSS" or something similar. There are about 1,450 maps
total.
Best wishes,
Scott

Hi Mark and Scott,
Are OSS maps the same as Nazi Germany maps (and related booklets), or
any maps confiscated by OSS from Axis nations after WWII?? I think Scott
did a presentation on the Nazi Germany map collection at NAICS, so I am
guessing those (Nazi maps) are the ones you are talking about. Or not?
Could you tell me what defines OSS maps..?
I was interested in digitizing Nazi Germany maps and related items we
have here at the Northwestern University Library, but I gave up after
reading a discussion on copyright issues in MAPS-L archive.. (I think it
was started by Penn State or British library, which also own similar
Nazi map collections.)
Sincerely,
Chieko
