Mapping the Nazi conquest of Europe
I'm working on a story with cool and historical maps showing the Nazi conquest of Europe, from the remilitarization of the Rhineland up to the Battle of Stalingrad.
I've got several maps and animated GIFs from the Why We Fight movies. These were American propaganda films made during the war. You may remember it from the story, "How the Nazis Planned to Invade Great Britain".
I'll also look for maps in old issues of Life and Time magazine. I used a lot of those in "Hitler’s Feared Invasion of the Middle East".
If you have or know any maps I could use, please share them here!
I'm particularly interested in maps that I could use for:
- The 1935 reincorporation of the Saarland
- The Nazi invasion of Norway and Denmark
- The fall of France
- Mussolini's failed invasion of Greece

Next up will be a similar story about World War II in Africa. After that, mapping the liberation of Europe.
"Mapping the Second World War in Africa" is now online as well.
Still working on the third entry: the liberation of Europe. I have many of the maps - although recommendations are absolutely welcome! The more, the better. I still need to write the bulk of the text.
