Imagine all those beautiful medieval towns, forever lost because some warmongering moustache guy.
TIL the source of the Danube (Donau) is some guy’s ass.
TIL Popeye lived in Stettin.
War is hell.
Ah, a rare map from the: Visit us, before we visit you”, era.
>Gross-Britannien
Jesus, what have the brits ever done to you?
I hate how cute it is because all the Nazi flags mean I can never print it or display it anywhere.
And most of those tourist spots got turned to powder in the 40’s, then rebuilt as a sort of impression of what was once there.
Ah, what a pleasing map of … oh, hello Nurnberg
I love how former territories are marked on this map (except North Schleswig). Even on a touristic map they couldn’t hide their jingoism.
I see Bad Kreuznach, but where is Good Kreuznach?
They used to cut horses’ tails (near Braunschweig & Osnabrück)? That looks pretty awful.
Also, it has these dreadnought ships and a zeppelin, but no cars or tractors?
What’s the difference between a berg and a burg?
Titisee? Titisee.
I like how Müritz-see between Rostock and Berlin seem to be a low-key alligator breeding pool.
Judging by the mixed Imperial/Nazi flag I take it this is 1933 to 1935?
They even put an icon at Danzig…
Germany comes out for united Ireland (also they just gave up on delineating the border in Istria)
Interesting that simply “Frankfurt” is Frankfurt (Oder), whereas “Frankfurt A/M” specifies Frankurt (Main).
Seems like the latter was not as important back then as it is today?
I have this map I bought it in East Germany in the 1980’s I wonder what it’s worth now.
Here’s a fun game to play with the kids;
How many Swastikas can you find?
I found 8, can you find more?
Did anyone else play where’s waldo but with swastikas?
To be honest, I dont recognize a single thing from my hometown of Hanover.
Edit: the long building is the Welfenschloss, but I have no idea why you would pick that instead of our town hall and I dont know what the rest is
I find it interesting how they’ve outlined the land lost in WWI, just to make it plain that they still think of it as German. The Polish corridor, Poznań and Gdańsk, Memel, Eupen-Malmedy, Alsace-Lorraine, and probably Schleswig too if it weren’t for it going off the map
Makes me sad we will never see the pre war cities. Really makes me wish there is time travel. Or the whole nature in Germany, it is not like nowadays
Tourist city of Ludwigshafen? Couldn’t be further from truth then and now.
Also: why is Fehmarn marked orange? It is no longer Danish since 1864.
Is this really from the 30’s? Because honestly, it looks like trolling.

They have even marked Hitler’s house.
