Hello,

A while ago, I sent an e-mail asking about World War II maps that were
printed on other maps. In the process of cataloging my way through our
collection, I found a Town Plan of Hamburg printed on a captured German map
(Lanark, Scotland). Recently, I found another example of a double printed
map. This one is a French map, Carte des Chemins de Fer Allemands, by the
Institut Geographique National (December, 1944). It is printed on an AMS
map. We actually have two of these maps for the Poland region. They are
both printed on the verso of an AMS or GSGS map.

I also found other oddities in our collection, including National
Geographic Maps that had been reprinted for use during World War II. One
was a map of the Caribbean that had been reprinted in German by the German
Army!

Unfortunately, we can only imagine how these maps may have been used, as
the people who used them have mostly passed away. Linda Zellmer
