'Atlanta Karte der Besatzungs-Zonen mit neuen Postleitgebieten - Map of the Occupation Areas - Carte des Zones d'Occupation'
A map of Germany and Austria shortly after the end of the Second World War, published with the approval of the British Military Government of North Rhine Westphalia. The map shows the partition of defeated Germany and Austria into French, British, American and Russian occupation zones, as agreed at the Potsdam Conference in August 1945 and earlier in principle at Yalta, with an inset showing the division of Berlin. The Russian zones are marked in pink, the American blue, the British yellow, and the French red, white & blue stripes. To the east Poland is shown with its new borders shifted to the west and colored with pink stripes, presumably a reference to Russian influence or occupation. The map has a cover price of one Reichsmark, the currency of Germany between 1924 and 1948, when it was replaced by the Deutschmark. The map includes much detail including the new postal districts and codes introduced by the Allies after the war. The draughtsman has been identified as Johannes Sünnecke. The state of North Rhine Westphalia had itself been created on 23 August 1946, only a month prior to the publication of the map, by the British military administration's "Operation Marriage" which had merged the province of Westphalia and the northern parts of the Rhine Province, both being political divisions of the former state of Prussia within the German Reich.
