Hello, For my PhD disseration I am looking for a detailed map of the partition of Poland between the USSR and Nazi Germany in September 1939. By detailed I mean showing a maximum of specific towns and villages on both sides of the border, not just a general line. ANy one know where I can find such a map ? Tks in advance, Rivka Schirman née Moscisker Paris, France

Hello Rivka: For very detailed maps available online, I always start with the 1910 Austro-Hungarian Military maps 1:200,000 scale, available from the University of Budapest website here: http://lazarus.elte.hu/hun/digkonyv/topo/3felmeres.htm Just click on the appropriate grid that covers the Nazi-Soviet Pact demarcation line. This is far more detailed than you are asking for but it is very informative if you couple these maps with this 1934 Polish Gazetteer: http://www.wbc.poznan.pl/dlibra/docmetadata?id=12786 Between the two you can get a "feel" of railroad, road and telegraph communications as they existed in Poland, and for you Eastern Poland, in the interwar period. In a private communication with Fred Hoffman a few years ago, he referred to this 1934 gazetteer as a "small gem" of information. Although going back in time, this comparison clarifies many descriptions in the Slownik Geograficzny, http://dir.icm.edu.pl/pl/Slownik_geograficzny/. Regarding your specific request, the best I could find quickly is here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~atpc/maps/poland-1938.html Je vous souhaite bonne chance avec votre projet.
