Map descriptionMap showing Nurembergs historical city cente and surrounding area, with indications of the extent of damage towards the end of the war. Mapped area largely limited to the city centre within the historical city walls.
based on City Base Map, June 1942
Map showing Nuremberg's historical city centre and the surrounding area on a scale of 1:5,000. Date June 1942 (lower right corner) faded and thus hard to read, but confirmed with derived maps with identical base map and clear date. The base map of 1942 was reprinted multiple times. The scan present in this entry is of an unchanged reissue of 1944. The date 1944 is noted in a legend box in the bottom-left corner of the map.
