Juju Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I tried, but all I could come up with was a modern aerial (isometric) photograph of exactly the area you posted above. It's probably of not much use, but do you want me to send it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertram Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hans, I got a map from an Atlas, from '39, that shows the Rotterdam harbor at scale 1/40.000. That shows less detail then your map, but gives some additional terrain. If it is any help I can scan it. If needed I could ask at the university library what they have,and if it is scannable.

Stoffel Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hi Bertram,my map is 1/50000 so yours should be better,specially since it dates to 1939. If you send it to him I dont need to scan mine Henk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 Bertram please do, let me know if you need any help Hans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertram Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Hans, I made a mistake. I got two scans for you. One is a 1/32.500 scale map of the Rotterdam harbor. It gives an idea of the surrounding area, but unfortunatly the Waalhaven was only dug half then. The other is not from 1939, but from 1950. The scale is 1/40.000. Major difference in build up is that there is a tunnel planned, and the whole Waalhaven is dug. The 1923 map is cut of about halfway the Waalhaven, dropping the to-be-dug south half. The other is cut off just under the Waalhaven. So the area with troops (at least I think those ovals on your map are troops??) is only partly displayed. I can mail the scans. I have them as .rtf 's, at 1200 dpi resolution. That gives a nice picture, but the sizes are 10 Mb and 12 Mb resp. Can your mailbox handle that? The university library only had the catalog of the Rotterdam municipal archives, and was mainly focused on technical drawings (partly of the build up area's and the harbors) I'll keep looking, but I might have to contact the Rotterdam municipal archive directly. Haven't looked into the Royal Marines (Dutch version) archives yet. Bertram edited to add: the alternative is a 200 resp. 300 dpi half compressed .jpeg of 450 kb or 1 Mb. I'll send you the 300 dpi jpeg of 1950, guessing that your provide can handle that.

Hans Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Many thanks Bertram Could you do me a large favor? The original of the map I first posted above comes from the book Molenaar, F.J. De luchtverdediging mei 1940. (2 delen) , Den Haag, 1970. If you have access to it in a Dutch library I'd dearly appreciate it being scanned and sent. For this noble deed you will receive many thanks, a mention in the scenario as a source and another scenario built to your request.
