Maps of the headquarters of the German Wehrmacht and the Red Army (Workers' and Peasants' Red Army) were compiled and printed both in the USSR in the period from 1925 to 1941, and in Germany, in preparation for the war, in the period 1935-41. On maps printed in Germany, the name in German is often printed next to the Russian name of a village, river, etc.
These are great wartime tactical maps. It was on these maps that the commanders of formations and units, intelligence, etc., of both the Soviet and German armies worked.
Some of the maps can be found on the Internet, on German and American websites, some were obtained from other sources. Unfortunately, the cards we have are mostly blank, i.e. on them not applied defense lines, dugouts, trenches, pillboxes. Only roads (down to the smallest ones), settlements (down to individual houses) and other interesting objects (chapels, churches, mills, ferries). Many objects disappeared in the post-war period and are therefore of interest to search engines. We will select maps for the area you are interested in.

Maps of the Red Army were used during the Great Patriotic War by Soviet commanders of formations and units, as well as by reconnaissance for tactical purposes.
When working on the online map, we used both grid reference and correction of objects on the map on top of a modern satellite image in order to minimize artifacts from scanning errors and paper jams.
