Kriegsmarine Maps reworked...

[Jan Kyster]

First to moderators... sorry for double posting.
This thread is also posted in the SH5 forum, but since people still seems to be running good, old SHIII :shifty: I took the liberty to post here as well... :oops:

-----

Quite a while ago someone asked for KriegsMarine maps and I uploaded my collection and published the link.

Now - deeply surprised by the number of downloads - I've cleaned the map collection up a bit.

Many of the KM Maps were found in PDF-format, these have now been converted to jpeg-files instead.


In this MediaFire folder (http://www.mediafire.com/?ieb1bzob4xg1f) you'll find the following files:

KM_Maps_JPG_I (http://www.mediafire.com/?udnqyp30p3bdar4) - content 21 maps (183MB)
KM_Maps_JPG_II (http://www.mediafire.com/?mhm9x0oh7v8h11n) - content 12 maps (194MB)
Sea_Maps_historic (http://www.mediafire.com/?k588u85t1p6twkx) - content 63 maps (8.5MB)
WW2_NG_Maps (http://www.mediafire.com/?br4uwf4566e77t2) - content 22 maps *) (3.3MB)


Note that the KM maps are full sized.

If you have access to a plotter, you can have these printed in their original sizes, like 2x2 meters or more...


*) The National Geographics maps are poorly photographed copies and are solely uploaded to show the amount of map knowledge and details used "back then" and I can only encourage you to do a search for National Geographics Magazines to buy the original magazines or buy the NGM collection on http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/)

Sorry for this little bump, but with nearly a thousand downloads :o I've found the numbers to be "un-balanced"...

Since MediaFire limits filesize for free accounts to 200MB, I had to split the reworked JPEGs into two downloads, KM_Maps_JPG_I and KM_Maps_JPG_II.

However there are nearly twice as many downloads for part I than part II... so here's an index of the two downloads:

KM_Maps_JPG_I:

Low-res B/W maps:
Atlantic, Central and South
Atlantic, North
Atlantic, West
Baltic Sea
Black Sea
England
World Map Grid
Mediteranean Sea
Northern Theatre
Pacific Ocean
Siberian Sea Route

Hi-res org. colored maps:

Grid Sheet
KM No 1851G Ostsee (Baltic)
KM No 1859 skagerak
KM No 1870 North Atlantic Ocean
KM No 1889G London
KM No 1902 Denmark
KM No 1931G Mozambique and Madagascar

Hope this clears things up a bit and that those, who "only" downloaded package I, may get their collection more complete.


Speaking of complete... haven't been able to track anymore maps, so if you know of any, please share! :up:
