Since this seems to be the place where people know about maps,
coordinates, history, and cross-referencing information, here's a
question I've been asked that I can't answer myself.

This person is working on a project to locate aircraft crash sites from
World War II. He says:

> In the original maps of the Second World War I have some coordinate that I need to convert in UTM format.
>
>For example I know that 44' 19'' 62s North - 11' 43'' 29s East is Equal to M328169 in the Second World War maps.
>
>Do you have the possibility to tell me what geography coordinate format the Commonwealth troops  used in the Second World War in Italy?

You can respond directly if you like; I'll post a short summary of
answers to MAPS-L in any case.

TIA,
