Title: 1938- German "Invasion" Maps
Post by: nuff on Sunday 02 May 21 15:38 BST (UK)

A while ago, whilst I was sourcing early 20th century maps of Sheffield on commercial online sites, I came across German military maps of Sheffield made in 1938-. They were based on OS, but printed with additional military information marking sites of strategic interest.
I  didn't have more than a passing interest in them at the time and didn't take note of which site they were on. I know NLS have a set online for Scotland, but does anyone know where I can find English sheets?

thanks in anticipation.

Lots on David Rumsey's map site. Click Refine on the left & expand the Where section.

Thanks Jon_ni

That is the site I had been looking for. 

( Some other kind person also pointed me in the right direction, hence my marking the topic as completed, but always grateful for those who take the trouble to help )
