These some of these rare maps are for sale. Before Stalin there were 8 million Germans in these colonies, after Stalin there were less than 2 milion, and all of them in the slave labor camps. However the maps were recovered or smuggled out. _ /| Bill Thoen <[log in to unmask]> \'o.O' -------------------------------------------------------------- =(___)= GISnet BBS - GIS & Mapping topics (modem line: 303-447-0927) U GIS/Mapping Web resources page - http://www.gisnet.com/gis/ --- ~ GISnet BBS 303-447-0927 Boulder, Colorado
