It is not mentioned in: Das Reichsamt für Landesaufnahme und seine Kartenwerke. - Berlin : Verl. des Reichsamts für Landesaufnahme, 1931. - 318, 43 S. : Ill., zahlr. Kt. + 3 Kt.-Beil. This work delivers a detailed description of the publications of the General Staff. Moreover I could not find any gazetteer to the Karte des Deutschen Reiches in any library. Best regards Margit Heumüller Bayerische Staatsbibliothek" This was the response of yesterday (Monday) elicited from my enquiry - on behalf of 'MAPS-L' - to a colleague (whom I know better, but is on vacation) of Margit Heumueller. Naturally, I had previously also checked the British War Office's GSGS gazetteer to the WW2 re-drawn 1:100K mapping of Germany; but these (map + gazetteer), perhaps inevitably, introduce a quite different grid system. So, as regards the German KDR 1:100K series - there's apparently a compilation job awaiting some lucky students or institution with time and good will . . .
