Topographic Maps

[KG_Cloghaun]

I'm wondering if there are any online resources that provide topographic maps/photos of specific towns and cities in Russia and eastern Europe, circa the 1940's?

In particular, I am searching for the town of Kapitanovka in the Ukraine. In the very least, I would like to know how big it was, was it a town, farming community, etc,.. any descriptive info at all for it during the 1940's.

Thankyou

If you find one make sure you post it please! :)

It's very tough to get topograhpic maps like that. David Glantz released some reference maps from the Eastern Front that can be picked up at a handful of specialty bookstores. I have some from Kursk, but others might be available.

The Library of Congress also has a ton of maps from all periods, but I'm not sure how you go about getting them. I know that scenario designers for the various wargame companies occasionally go there to copy maps. I'm not sure if you can get things over the internet or not.
