Folks- I'm am not quite sure if everyone has already dismissed the Atlas of the German Reich or that the memory of most folks current on the list does not extend that far. While the posted map is dated 1883, it is older and "more" detailed than current road maps. It is worth a few minutes -it will take that- to understand. http://www.library.wisc.edu/etext/ravenstein/home.html#Introduction Rob Hausman At 08:24 PM 11/27/2006, you wrote: >Rudy, Does the particular atlas, of which you speak, include historic >locations (town names) or perhaps that is not too much of an issue/concern >when it comes to locations in Germany.

Hello Bette, You are absolutely correct. This atlas should provide additional detail with respect to historic locations and it has a fabulous index. It will make a good companion to my ADAC atlas and I really appreciate having the information on it along with the coordinates to this atlas.
