Stalingrad Map

This is Stalingrad World War ll Escape Map.The British Issued these maps to not only their military, but their allied forces. These Maps were printed onto a specially lined silk that was usually sewn onto soldiers clothing or shoes. Because this specially made silk was water and dirt resistant, it often served as a guide to help allied soldiers navigate in enemy territory after being shot down from over Nazi-held land. 50 years later, the maps were reprinted during the cold war to guide American soldiers.The Map is complete with original date, Cold War use dates, and the word "RESTRICTED" printed along the corners. The Map shows everything from city locations, towns, population density, elevations; to roads, railroads and fresh water locations. The only damage this map has is the original folds from being placed in the pocket of British pilots pockets.
