Hello 52nd Airborne

Last week a friend was showing me a very detailed map , but it may have been of concentration camps . Since then , they have the house upside down for electrical work . Are you still looking for these maps ?

Interesting stuff there! I wish I had the time to work with those overall maps, and make up some kind of new comprehensive presentation! Imagine being able to click on a marker on the main map, and go right to a drawing of the camp!
