Mapping Leningrad,Narva,58 Inf Div
Guys,
Just proffed a load of maps from a private sale. Most are Army Gp North I believe. It includes a Unit photo, diary, post war history book. The maps are mostly German but there are reprinted captured maps and some of them have been cancelled with a big cross and recyled, printed on the reverse by I guess the Geo cell at Div?.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Pre-war military map paper is of very good quality. So printing on the back of maps has a long tradition. After WW1 the young Latvian republic printed their first issue of postage stamps on german maps left behind at a Riga printing-company.
