WWII Aerial Photos and Maps
This site contains digitized copies of maps, still photos, and aerial photographs copied primarily from originals in the U.S. National Archives and the U.S. Library of Congress.
The aerial photographs were taken in and around large cities such as Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad, and Warsaw and of rural areas around these cities. The maps include scales of 1:1000 000, 1:500 000, 1:300 000, 1:100 000, 1:50 000 and 1:25 000 and cover battles or campaigns including Fall Gelb, African Campaign, Normandy, Dunkirk, Sardinia, Sicily, Corsica, Italy, and the Eastern Front.
I have included Luftwaffe aerial target dossiers for parts of North Africa, France, and Great Britain.
There are collections of daily reports and maps from specific German units and the OKW daily situation maps.
I have high resolution versions for most of the images on this site. Email me if you need them. All the images on this web site are not for sale. They are available free of any charge for the purpose of historical research.

11-Feb-2010: I have posted eight folders of scanned aerials photos of Leningrad and surrounding areas. I am working on many more. I am also working on providing the names of locations for the photos under 'Leningrad Photographed'--see folder '60N3020E'. It will take a while. This information is provided by one of our fellow researchers.
I received an email telling me that my images are being sold on web sites in Russia and other countries. Please post where you can that all of the images on my site are free. It is a waste of money to pay for them. It also discourages researchers who do not have money to pay for the material they need. Thanks to you who have already done this.
