Koln 1945 map and newspapers

[Simon Trew]

This is an original 1:25,000-scale defense overprint map of Koln (Cologne), dated 27 February 1945 (just before the city's capture).  The newspapers are (1) a copy of the 'Kolnische Illustrierte Zeitung' from 21 Sept 1944, (2) 'Stars and Stripes' dated 7 March 1945, and (3) the 'Kolnischer Kurier', published under the authority of 12th Army Group and with a headline remarking on Himmler's suicide, dated 26 May 1945. Hope some people find these interesting.
