Hello Guys,
This is my best paperwork related catch of 2012!
I was walking on a militaria fair yesterday over here
in Normandy and there was a lady pulling out things
to put on her sales table. When I walked by she just
put a big black map holder on her table and I saw
by coincidence a German map with the place where
I live on it.
I turned out to be 2 original '43 dated Heereskarten
from the artillery from the coast of Normandy.
I live in Arromanches so I couldn't leave them there.
I thought I'dd never find a German map of this area
because they are pretty uncommon and wanted over here.
I've just put a nice frame around them and I'll probably
put them on display in our museum this week.
I hope you enjoy the pics, let me know what you think!
Best regards,
Floris
