Hey folks, I came across this map today at home. And I figure that it would be pretty neat to get some photos to show everyone here. It's a map of Lahr (and area), and it was printed in 1939. I guess that may be.. just may be it was used in the invasion of France. It is a pretty amazing map. Compare from then to now. And that it's Lahr.. wow. Anyways ladies and gentlemen..  and those whom are not so sure..(Tess). I present you ..my map of Lahr Germany, 1939! Enjoy.

Wow. Quite the historical document. I'm sure many libraries and historians would love to get their hands on that.

The burn marks on the map are unfortunate but, how much to seperate you from this find ?

Ah I couldn't depart from this map. I pick it up a while back. I"m a huge fan of the Deutsch Gothic font. That is what got my attention.. that and the whole Lahr deal. Did you spend anytime there?

As for the X-Mas table deal.. it's a WINTER THEME.. not X-Mas. I rest my case.  ;D


Kurzell...

Good night now...

. . . Kurzell...

Schuttern . . . and from the symbols on the map my place was pre-war . . . but that's no surprise to me. 

Interesting that the airfield location was previously an artillery training area.  I wonder if the neighbours complained as much about that activity as they did about the flying.  Is there any detail in the Kaserne location that indicates that it was used as such by previous occupants.

- Kaserne was 84 Inf Bde of the 29 Div (Freiburg):

"84. Infanterie-Brigade in Lahr
8. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 169 in Lahr und III. Bataillon Villingen
9. Badisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 170 in Offenburg und III. Bataillon Donaueschingen "

This may explain the artillery training area (however these units were stationed there at the beginning of the first world war)
