Re: Large map of Truppenubungsplaz Bergen
Ade,
That looks like the 1:25.000, I just missed one of those on ebay last month, I only have the more common 1:100000. I will post a pic of some of them you can see the camp grow between 1936 and the end of the war.

Re: Large map of Truppenubungsplaz Bergen
Ade,
I didn't make myself clear in the last post. The part you show is today home to 7 Brigade ' The Desert Rats' and is for the most part still intact. The KZ is about 3Km south on the road marked in green to the East of the camp you show. Depending on the date of your map will depend on the roll of the KZ as I'm sure you know it started as a RAD labour camp, then PW for the early phase of the war then as a camp for high profile Jews that would effectivley be hostages for trade for German high profile prisoners then lastly a collection point for the other KZs out on the collapsing German flanks. Tis a side of the hobby I'm constantly reminded of but it seems from what I have seen in 23 years service we as a species haven't learned much!

Re: Large map of Truppenubungsplaz Bergen
Hi Jock, you are correct it is the 1:25.000 (4cm = 1 km)
I would certainly like to see your map.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Large map of Truppenubungsplaz Bergen
Ade,
I have scanned in two maps, one from the 'meldnetz' which has a low level code overprint and an early standard range map which shows the Tank barracks only half built. I am struggling with the technoligy and spelling. i'm trying to get the jpegs down to acceptable parrameteres but its not having it!!!

Re: Large map of Truppenubungsplaz Bergen
Ade,
Ref your map, that is so much easier to read than the 1:100000. It must be age!!

Re: Large map of Truppenubungsplaz Bergen
Hi Jock, if you are still have problems resizing the images I can do it for you?
