The catalogue record I find that is closest to what you describe is (please remember it's UKMARC): 001 m700054200# 008 010529$as1944$bgw$lger$nb$pA# 024.00:0/0 $a61188754$c+MAP# 034.10:0/0 $aa$b200000# 087.00:0/0 $aMaps X.5433.# 089.00:0/0 $a497# 245.10:0/0 $a:Ubersichtskarte zur Gel:andebeurteilung von Mitteldalmatien (Raum Zara - Knin - :Sibenik).

I think it's meant to be only one sheet, and it is indeed very colourful. Only trouble about sending you a copy is that the map is presently on display (shameless advert warning!) in our The Lie of the Land exhibition, which is on until 7 April. After that I could send a copy.

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?
