Need A Map for a Battle???

[David boutwell]

Johny Walker,

A Caen map would be a great map to make. Speaking of Caen, I'm a map of Hill 112, which is south (I could be turned around this evening)of Caen. The D-Day maps are next on my hit list. I do know that they have been done in the past, but in comparing the Gold Beach map to some of my soureces, they surprisingly did not match very well. So, they may just need to be redone. I have several very expert sources, in the form of Tim Kilvert-Jones, the author of the Battleground Europe Series' volumes on Omaha and Sword Beaches, and Bill Schneck, of the US Army Mine Warfare Command at Fort Belvoire, VA, who has done research on the prepared defensive positions of the D-Day landing beaches. Can you say "Bigot Maps"? (Formerly classified maps of the landing beaches)

Regards,

David Boutwell
