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.
