Normandy Map 11- Caen

Reproduction "Caen" map in 1:25,000 scale.  Maps in this scale were the most common maps used by platoon leaders, company commanders, and senior platoon/company NCO's in Normandy for use in land navigation and tactical movements.  NOTE: The "labels" featuring D-Day objectives and drop zones (on the second picture in this listing) are for reference only and are not on the printed map you will receive.   This map primarily shows the city of Caen as well as the surrounding areas south and east including Drop Zone K. Keep in mind that geographic maps used in World War Two were not being made in relation to the tactical environment of the battlefield.  Most if not all cartographers (map makers) did not know where the D-Day invasion (or any other invasion) was going to take place so you often find that key objectives are split over several different maps.  That being the case officers and NCO's often carried numerous maps not knowing if their tactical movement would keep them on one map or
