Military installations and landforms on selected maps published in the years 1938-1941
Original language description
In the 1930s, Germany started to prepare updated map sets of Czechoslovakia and of other European countries before invading their territories. Permanent fortifications and short-term positions of the armed forces of the enemy were imprinted into those maps. The first map sets were elaborated in 1938 covering the territory of Czechoslovakia and certain parts of Poland. Later on, in 1939 such maps were also prepared to cover other parts of Poland and also France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland; the last three mentioned were additionally updated in 1940. For the military campaign to the Balkans, Austrian general maps to the scale 1:200,000 were used for imprints of fortifications in Romania, Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey. Maps of certain parts of the territory of the Soviet Union were elaborated in 1941 for the Operation Barbarossa and for the following invasion of the German army towards Moscow. The authors searched the archives and collections for the map sets of Befestigungskarte Tschechoslowakei. Newly found items increased the total number of known preserved map sheets to the scale 1:25,000 from 2 to 140 and for map sheets to the scale 1:75,000 from 2 to 10 map sheets. One map sheet of the Befestigungskarte Tschechoslowakei to the scale 1:300,000 was also found.
