OGF Keller Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 OK, I have finished my first ever CMBB effort, "Hube's HQ Attacked" scenario, and am moving onto the next one -- Seelow Heights!! Well, a portion of it anyway that I have identified. Some questions for the more experienced designers out there: --What web sources, if any, do you recommend for acquiring topographical maps, recent or historical? --Has anyone used the available sattelite imaging to help them? --Should I be careful using the sattelite stuff, given any changes to the heights area over the last 60 years?? --I have some books in my Library, but are there any accounts of this action that folks especially recommend?? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Go to Boots & Tracks and download the Seelow operation. I think Warphead listed some sources there. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benpark Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I am particularly interested in this battle as well. I remember doing a Google search and not coming up with a whole lot of useful information in regards to forces, maps, and first person accounts. I have also lost many of the bookmarks from that search, but I seem to remember a very good account of the fighting from a site that had "Zhukov" in the title. Sorry to be so non-specific, but this was a well written piece. I will look around again and see if I can locate the site for you and post some links.

jwxspoon Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I read some interesting accounts of the Seelow Heights fighting in Beevor's "The Fall of Berlin" book. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warphead Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I still have a lot of historical maps from the Seelow area. Drop me a mail if you need something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
