{"title":"Military Intelligence, Secret and Target Maps","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaps created for intelligence work, covert operations and the selection or attack of targets often reveal information never intended for public view. This collection brings together military and naval intelligence maps, restricted and secret editions, defence overprints, occupation plans, bombing and target maps, and fabric escape-and-evasion charts. It ranges from First World War trench intelligence and early twentieth-century diplomatic mapping to Second World War BIGOT invasion material, coded desert maps, Allied town plans, coastal intelligence and postwar occupation planning. Cold War examples include restricted GSGS and USAF escape maps and airborne exercise sheets. Markings such as SECRET, TOP SECRET, RESTRICTED and OFFICIAL USE ONLY convey both their operational purpose and controlled circulation. Together, the maps show how geography was gathered, classified and transformed into intelligence: identifying defences, communications, terrain, targets, routes of advance, escape corridors and places to be occupied or destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"japanese-occupied-singapore-city-plan-british-intelligence-map-108x80-cm-1945-p-6-014197","title":"Japanese-occupied SINGAPORE city plan.

The United States Strategic Bombing Survey (USSBS) was tasked in August 1945 by President Truman to assess the impact of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Conducted by over 110 experts—engineers, doctors, architects, and economists—the fieldwork took place between October and December 1945. Teams gathered data on physical destruction, casualties, medical response, economic disruption, and civilian morale. Hiroshima, bombed on 6 August, saw near-total devastation over 4.4 square miles due to blast and firestorm; up to 80,000 were killed. Nagasaki, hit on 9 August, suffered more limited damage—1.8 square miles and roughly 40,000 dead—due to its terrain and better preparation. The resulting maps, produced by the U.S. Army Map Service in 1946, graphically depict fire and blast zones. Survey teams interviewed over 700 Japanese officials, collected documents, and examined city structures, creating the most detailed contemporary account of the bombings’ human and material toll.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50961736761691,"sku":"P-6-109566","price":680.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-109566a.jpg?v=1752162409"},{"product_id":"operational-d-day-map-of-gold-juno-landing-beaches-used-in-active-service-1944-p-8-006264","title":"Operational D-Day map of Gold \u0026 Juno landing beaches used in active service 1944","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e[Operational D-Day map of Gold and Juno landing beaches with manual annotations indicating Corps and beach boundaries and exit points, accompanied by a participating combatant's Pitman Shorthand diary entries for 31st May 1944 to 10 June 1944, the days leading up to and following around D-Day, 6th June 1944]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA D-Day Beach Intelligence map of Gold and Juno Beaches used in active service during Operation Overlord, June 1944. Issued by the Geographical Section, General Staff (War Office) in 1943 for operational use in the Normandy invasion, this two-sheet conjoined map (west sheet December 1943, east sheet July 1943, scale 1:25,000) was the property of British Army Sgt. Philip Berger, 13101712, whose name is inscribed in ink on the verso. Berger’s Application for Issue of Campaign Stars and Medals (a copy of which will be included) confirms his participation in the France and Germany Campaign. His service number indicates initial enlistment in the Royal Pioneer Corps; he was later attached to the Royal Engineers, likely during Operation Overlord. The map is accompanied by Berger’s diary in Pitman Shorthand covering 31 May–10 June 1944, suggesting his posting to Normandy shortly after D-Day itself. Depicting the Gold and Juno landing beaches and their hinterland, the map shows coastal topography, roads, and settlements, partly derived from wartime aerial photographs taken over occupied France from locations which are marked on the map. Berger’s field annotations divide the beaches into operational and Corps boundaries—How, Item, Jig, King, Love, and Mike—subdivided into Red and Green zones, with operational notations marking beach sectors, boundaries, and beach exit points added immediately before or during June 1944. Such intelligence maps were issued to officers and NCOs of the assault and beach maintenance groups to direct unloading, clearance, and supply operations under fire. A working field map demonstrably used in active service during Operation Overlord, it provides rare and tangible evidence of the meticulous planning and execution of the invasion and of the crucial logistical role played by the Royal Pioneer Corps and Royal Engineers in establishing and maintaining the Allied beachhead.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543036166491,"sku":"P-8-006264","price":5680.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-006264a_ef268d03-c190-49db-9a35-311a66df48bb.jpg?v=1761744173"},{"product_id":"third-battle-of-the-aisne-german-barrage-target-map-27-may-1918-ww1-1939-p-6-110632","title":"Third Battle of the Aisne.

The map delineates front, support, reserve, and communication trenches around La Boisselle, including Tara Redoubt, Usna Line, Dundee Avenue, Lochnagar Street, and the Lochnagar mine tunnel and crater. These trench names and features fix compilation to the final week of June 1916, immediately before the assault: Tara and Usna Lines were completed in April; Lochnagar Street and the mine galleries were finalised by late June; and Dundee Avenue was among the new assembly trenches dug for the attack itself. Pencil annotations in a different hand—including “Charing Cross” and the precise alignment of the Lochnagar tunnel and crater—were likely added in the field on or soon after Zero Hour, when the Lochnagar mine was fired beneath German positions. Produced in ink on official linen-backed field map paper by draughtsmen of the Topographical Section, General Staff (Royal Engineers Field Survey Company, III Corps).

Both items were produced in direct preparation for Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily launched in July 1943. The large-scale town plan was compiled from an Italian base map of 1937 and revised using air photography and intelligence reports up to 1942. Issued by the Geographical Section, General Staff, and published by the War Office, it presents Palermo in exceptional operational detail, with buildings of particular importance to an occupying military administration clearly identified. Port and industrial areas, factories, railways, government buildings, barracks, prisons, hospitals, utilities, and key administrative sites are all shown and named, reflecting the map’s intended tactical and administrative use. The map and Map Section Cover were both originally part of the Sicily Zone Handbook—documentation issued to selected senior officers in the final days before the landings. Offered together, the map and handbook cover constitute a coherent and historically powerful artefact group from one of the Second World War’s decisive Mediterranean operations, providing insight into the intelligence gathering, planning, and administrative preparation underpinning the Allied invasion and subsequent occupation of Sicily.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51916948603227,"sku":"P-7-028101","price":720.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-7-028101a.jpg?v=1765982186"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/military-intelligence-secret-and-target-maps.oembed?page=2","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
