(the spelling is probably wrong
at some point in that phrase)

I've had an inquiry from a geography
faculty member here about these maps,
which were made by German military
during World War II; apparently
they were of Germany and perhaps
other European countries through
which the war was fought. The object was
to show best route for tanks (e.g.,
avoid tall, closely planted trees).
Does any map library have any of
these, and if you do, may I get
a photocopy of at least a portion
of one of them?
