Thomas <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] References: <[log in to unmask]> No, actually I'm talking about the maps created in the US by the Office of Strategic Services, for strategic planning purposes.

These are generally more like sketch maps than like scientifically projected maps. --Mark Maps-L Moderator wrote: > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: OSS maps > Date: Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:29:51 -0600 > From: Chieko Maene <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask] > References: <[log in to unmask]> > > > > Hi Mark and Scott, > > Are OSS maps the same as Nazi Germany maps (and related booklets), or > any maps confiscated by OSS from Axis nations after WWII??
