Red Army and General Staff maps. Red Army and General Staff maps Red Army maps o 35.0.36 250m

The maps of the headquarters of the German Wehrmacht and the Red Army (Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army) were compiled and printed both in the USSR in the period from 1925 to 1941, and in Germany, in preparation for war, in the period 1935-41. On maps printed in Germany, the name in German is often printed next to the Russian name of a village, river, etc.

These are excellent wartime tactical maps. It was on such maps that the commanders of formations and units, intelligence, etc., of both the Soviet and German armies worked.

Some of the maps can be found on the Internet, on German and American sites, and some are obtained from other sources. Unfortunately, the maps we have are mostly clean, i.e. on them not applied defense lines, dugouts, trenches, pillboxes. Only roads (down to the smallest ones), settlements (up to individual houses) and other interesting objects (chapels, churches, mills, ferries). Many objects disappeared in the post-war period and therefore are of interest to search engines. We will select maps for the area you are interested in.

Red Army maps were used in the Great Patriotic War by Soviet commanders of formations and units, as well as intelligence for tactical purposes.

When working on an online map, we used both gridding and correction of objects on the map over a modern satellite image in order to minimize artifacts from scanning errors and paper jams.
