1939 Map CENTRAL EUROPE & MEDITERRANEAN Germany Poland Slovakia Palestine Levant

Description

Large-format fold-out 1939 map of Central Europe and the Mediterranean, printed more than 79 years ago.
This map opens to a generous 26" x 36" and is drawn on a scale of 1:5,000,000.
The coverage area extends from Ireland to the Volga River, south to Libya and the coast of northern Africa.
Details include cities, towns, railroads, canals, natural features, and political boundaries, some of which are very different from today's.
There is no Austria. Along with the western part of Czechoslovakia, it had been annexed by Germany the year before this map was printed.
Poland's Baltic coastline is shown as shorter than it is today, although the country's overall land area has been greatly diminished.
In the Middle East an area labeled Palestine occupies what is Israel today. North and east of Palestine are the Levant States and Trans-Jordan.
The map was compiled by the Cartographic Division of the National Geographic Society, and it was issued as a supplement to the magazine in October 1939.
