Maps of Europe in 1939
Maps of Europe in 1939 and the war that followed. Most maps from these years are still under copyright, so this page draws on US government maps: Army and OSS maps, and the situation maps the US Army drew day by day.
Why they are free to use: US government works (US Army, OSS and other agencies) are not protected by copyright in the US. Each map's page shows its own licence basis and a credit line.
