This is an experiment to see if anyone finds it useful. I have a street atlas of Germany from 1938, which I find interesting because it shows how streets and public squares were re-named all over Germany in honor Hitler and other Nazi potentates. I've added the
maps for Berlin, Frankfurt, Hanover, and Nuremberg. If you have a city you'd particularly like to see a map of, let me know.
I've since added, by request, Munich to the list.
In the case of Nuremberg, for example, the illustration below shows that the main square was named for Hitler. I've also included a clip of the Nuremberg Party Rally grounds.

Hello.
This is totally unrelated to the content of your post, but I want to say I found the material in your Nazi Propaganda Archives simultaneously fascinating and horrifying. Thank you for the education.
Best
If you're offering, I'd love to see a map of Munich. I have a few copies of "Munich in the Third Reich" which shows a small map surrounded by photos, info and addresses of NSDAP buildings and sites.
OK, done.
CHEERS! Munich's put out a new map "Dem Gedenken Namen und Orte geben" focussed on one street- Augustenstrasse
