HarryInk Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 God how I HATE HATE HATE :mad: :eek: reading histories of military campaigns without maps -- GOOD maps -- to follow the ebb and flow of events. It was irritating enough doing this with Alan Clark's Barbarossa, but... I'm just starting Erikson's classic The Road to Stalingrad. Can anyone suggest good sources for maps to go along with Erikson's text? As I'm slumming it in Melbourne Australia, and raising a young family, being guided to economic sources of maps would be preferable. ie. I can't afford a $700 deluxe geographer's 1:10 scale of the Russian campaign. *L* Can anyone recommend sites on the net? Or alternatively sources I might find in a decent State/Uni library? (Fairly decent ones here in Melb) Cheers and thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryInk Posted June 16, 2003 Author Share Posted June 16, 2003 I've done my belated search thru the BFC forum archives *blush* but not a lot of joy: www.stalingrad.net has some reasonable assets Someone suggested http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/soviet_maps.html but it bumps from the Berkeley site. *sigh* Any other suggestions, folks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conscript Bagger Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 The Berkeley URL has changed. Here's the new one: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/x-ussr/ukraine.html Try http://www.multimap.com too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 You'll need to go a little farther east to get to the areas around Stalingrad. Try this site. The area around Stalingrad is in the M38 sector. Unfortunately, the grids for that sector are not labeled, so you'll have to hunt and peck until you find it. Edit: If it helps any, Stalingrad is located right about where the Volga river makes the sharp turn to the right and then flows SE to the Caspain (sp?). It looks to me like Long-44.5 / Lat-49. Edit again: Try map number M38-114 for the city of Stalingrad (called Volgagrad on the map) and map Number M38-113 for the areas located to the west of the city.

White Phosphorus Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 http://www.rkka.ru/imaps.htm This site has plenty of maps. It's in Russian though. You'll have to look at the dates to get the general idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
