APO472 Posted November 18, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2014 Most have seen the 1944 version of the paper map used by the 101st & 82nd for the invasion of Normandy. In 1943 when the 101st first arrived in England this is the version they initially used for planning and training. "Cherboug & Caen" edition. I have only seen a handful of these as they are quite rare. There seems to be 2 versions as well. One with nothing on the back and this one that shows terrain features and flooded areas printed on the back. I believe these were used solely at the Regimental level and the other 1944 paper map was issued in larger quantities to 'Troops as needed. This map was from a well known 506th Regimental Officer.

Bugme Posted November 18, 2014 Share #5 Posted November 18, 2014 Wow, I've got a '44 version with a few tac marks that I thought was rare. However, I see that there are rarer ones now since I have never seen this one before, thanks for posting it Jake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persian Gulf Command Posted December 13, 2014 Share #8 Posted December 13, 2014 What would be a fair price for the 6/44 version of the "Cherbourg Caen" Map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
