New From Library of Congress-American Memory Project: Digitized World War II Situation Maps
From the web site: "A new online presentation from the Library, World War II Military Situation Maps, documents troop positions from June 6, 1944, to July 26, 1945. The presentation is available at and is one of more than 135 thematic presentations in the American Memory Web site. Starting with the D-Day Invasion, the maps give daily details on the military campaigns in Western Europe, showing the progress of the Allied Forces as they push toward Germany. Some of the sheets are accompanied by a declassified "G-3 Report" giving detailed information on troop positions for the period March 3 through July 26, 1945. These maps and reports were used by the commanders of the United States forces in their evaluation of the campaigns and for planning future strategies. The collection consists of 416 printed maps and 115 reports, the originals of which reside in the Library of Congress's Geography and Map Division...Researchers browsing through the maps can easily follow the Western Allies' progress in Europe through the movements of the unit symbols and the frontline. Even the casual browser's eye can identify significant battles by the concentrations of unit symbols on the maps...Users can zoom in on these digitized maps and view details not easily seen with the naked eye."
