Generalgouvernement

27 Sep 2005

We have had a mail from B. A. Engholm about Generalgouvernement (1943), which is really addressed to all visitors. So here it is - please address your comments to us here at bdkr.com and we'll forward them to the appropriate e-mail address (sorry, won't publish any e-mail addresses on the site - the spam risk is too great).

"There are a lot of conflicting claims regarding the three versions of this volume, all differing only in the general map of GG. Has anyone ever compared the three maps and found any differences other than the date? If there are no differences, then my theory would be that in the initial issue of the guidebook the engraver forgot to date the general map. For the second printing the engraver erroneously dated the map "VI/43" instead of "IV/43". For all subsequent printings the correct date of IV/43 was shown.

"Comments anybody?

"B. A. Engholm"
