Map, Silk, Escape, C/D, 1943

Superb and scarce genuine WWII Allied double-sided silk escape map. Such maps were particularly issued to RAF and USAAF aircrews flying over German-occupied Europe as part of the escape and evasion kits, usually carried in rubberized cloth cases. Scale: 1:1,000,000. Dated 1943.

The first side (Sheet C) of the present map covers the Netherlands, the largest part of Belgium, Luxembourg, north-eastern France and western Germany; the second side (Sheet D) covers south-eastern France, south-western Germany, most of Switzerland and part of north-western Italy, and also offers an enlargement of the border region between Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany (scale: 1:250,000).

Theis map was heat-treated to prevent the cloth from unravelling.

Excellent overall condition.
