SS MAPS - UKRAINE AND EASTERN TERRITORIES |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
REICHSFÜHRER-SS POLICE MAP OF THE UKRAINE
AND EASTERN TERRITORIES FROM 1941 AND 1942 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
These are absolutely original Reichsführer-SS (Heinrich Himmler) published maps salvaged from the files of the office of the Reichsstatthalter of Wien (Baldur von Schirach, the highest Nazi Party authority in that Gau). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The 1941 Reichsführer-SS map is printed in two colors and shows the police border between the eastern provinces of Grossdeutschland and Reichsgau Wartheland, the Generalgouvernement (formerly Poland) and the Soviet Union. All Kreise are shown and named on the map, from Memel to Glatz and Sanok. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The 1942 Reichsführer-SS map depicts the borders of Reichskommissariat Ukraine in the former Soviet Union from Krim to Bialystok.
The maps were published by the Reichsführer-SS in Berlin because the areas depicted required special transit documents for those wishing to travel through them. The 1942 map is particularly interesting because it no longer refers to the Soviet Union at all, but only to Reichskommissariat Ostland and the Army Rear Echelon Area northeast of Reichskommissariat Ukraine. The Ukraine map has a history of the German acquisition of the area on the back side. |

Both maps are European A4 size measuring about 8-1/4 x 11-3/4 inches in size and are in very good condition. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
