Description: Original WW2 THIRD REICH military map of an area of POLAND and GERMANY entitled "SCHNEIDEMUHL". After printing, the map has been ink stamped by hand with the headings...."“Nicht für die Offenlichtkeit bestimmt” meaning “not intended for public use”, and "Nur für den Dienstgebrauch" (equivalent to a "RESTRICTED" British military map). At the time SCHNEIDEMUHL was on the German side of the border, but now it's known as 'PILA' and the entire area forms part of modern day POLAND. Printed in September 1939 by the AUSTRIAN military mapping services, which had been under German control since 1938. However, the map was clearly captured by the Allies later in the War, and eventually found its way to the map library of the British 'Directorate of Military Survey', before it was finally removed from the War Office's archive with a 'CANCELLED' ink stamp. From a large collection recently sold off by Edinburgh University - hence their own ink stamping to margin. (From time to time, the government distributes excess stocks of Allied maps, along with captured enemy examples, to various national institutions such as libraries, museums, universities etc.) Has never been folded, so will be shipped rolled in a cardboard tube. Please see my other WW2 (and WW1) maps, documents, photos etc. International Shipping will be carried out by eBay's Global Shipping Programme, who set their own postage rates and do not routinely combine shipping. (This is calculated by eBay's automated systems and is completely beyond my control.) Seller's Ref - U1204
