WWII German Named Staff Sargent Moritz Paris France Luftwaffe Aviator Map
Measures a large 35.5 inches by 35.5 inches.
Rare original WWII Luftwaffe map named to a German Staff Sargent (Feldwalbe) named Moritz. His name is written on the backside linen fold of the map which makes this very unique. Many German maps were not inscribed by the name of German soldier as many US combat maps were of that time. The Paris France air map itself is printed on a heavy duty paper where it is attached to a cloth-like folded linen board. Maps such as this style were common for Luftwaffe soldier as they carried them with them in their bombers and aircraft during missions. This map shows the surrounding areas of Paris as the German struggled to defend and hold the city as the Allies pushed across France following the D-Day Landings.
