I think Scott did a presentation on the Nazi Germany map collection at NAICS, so I am guessing those (Nazi maps) are the ones you are talking about. Or not? Could you tell me what defines OSS maps..? I was interested in digitizing Nazi Germany maps and related items we have here at the Northwestern University Library, but I gave up after reading a discussion on copyright issues in MAPS-L archive.. (I think it was started by Penn State or British library, which also own similar Nazi map collections.)
