Description

You are bidding on a SUPERB and VERY RARE WW2 German Wehrmacht/Luftwaffe 1940 Battle of France Map set!
This set specifically covers Paris and surrounding areas, and is in 1:20000 scale!
Produced in 1940 by the Generalstab des Heeres, this set would have been used by both the Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht units.
These were made at the start of the Battle of France, and would have been planned for use during the invasion (May 10, 1940 - June 25, 1940).
Made of heavy paper, this map set is in EXCELLENT condition for its age!
The outer folder/cover does have a few marks, wear, and small tears due to the age, but it is still VERY solid.
All information is clearly legible.
This set consists of 4 maps of Paris depicting topographical landmarks, points of interest, waterways, rivers, lakes, municipalities, districts, streets & roads (as well as their names), hotels, railways, airports, parks, elevations, grid markings, and other pertinent information.
It is a 100% COMPLETE set, and are titled:
Blatt Nordost
Blatt Nordwest
Blatt Sudost
Blatt Sudwest
The back sides of each map also detail each and every individual name located on the map, and their corresponding map location for easy reference.
I have shown detailed images of the "Sudwest" map, to give an overall idea of what each map would generally look like.
All the maps are in SUPERB condition, and features no tears, rips or stains.
They measure on average, approx.
30" x 36" in size.
A VERY RARE and FANTASTIC addition to any collection, display, or simply as a conversation piece!

Payment should be made within 7 business days at the end of the auction unless buyer contacts me for other arrangements. I accept all forms of payment.
------------------- SHIPPING -----------------
My goal is to ship within 7 days from auction end. However, depending on circumstances, it may take up to an additional 1 week from receipt of confirmed payment. If you need it shipped sooner, please let me know and I will do our best to accommodate.
------------------- TERMS OF SALE -----------------
Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage. I will describe each auction to the best of my knowledge and take as many photos necessary to ensure you are pleased upon receiving your item. All sales are final, so please make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you purchase.
------------------- ABOUT ME -----------------
Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
