emrezmen Posted 6 August , 2019 Share Posted 6 August , 2019 (edited) Hello, I'm after detailed maps of the South Berezhany area (see image below) in Eastern Galicia where the Ottoman 15th Army Corps fought in 1916-17. Especially the maps showing hill altitudes would be most useful. I know there's little interest on this obscure part of the war, but hoping there may be someone on the forum who could help. Thanks in advance, Emre Edited 6 August , 2019 by emrezmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie2 Posted 6 August , 2019 Share Posted 6 August , 2019 Have you looked at the maps in the German and Austro-Hungarian official histories? http://generalstab.org/links/official-histories-ww1/the-official-german-history-of-world-war-one/ http://generalstab.org/links/official-histories-ww1/the-austria-hungarian-official-history-of-world-war-one/ There also some maps of the eastern front among the documents in the Russian archives http://tsamo.germandocsinrussia.org/de/nodes/1-deutsche-beuteakten-zum-ersten-weltkrieg-im-zentralarchiv-des-verteidigungsministeriums-der-russischen-f-deration-bestand-500-findbuch-12519 Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emrezmen Posted 6 August , 2019 Author Share Posted 6 August , 2019 Thank you, Charlie. I know those sources, they're amazing, but I'm rather looking for topographic maps (sorry for not telling in the beginning). Still I'll check them again.

emrezmen Posted 8 August , 2019 Author Share Posted 8 August , 2019 Thank you again for your help. They're not exactly what I was looking for, but they'll be useful for general use. In the meantime I've found some Russian maps which are very detailed: https://maps.vlasenko.net/ua/ternopilska/berezhanskyj/potutory/ In Turkish sources, hills generally named after their altitudes, and the area seems quite complicated, thus I needed that type of maps.

bierast Posted 6 December , 2019 Share Posted 6 December , 2019 This map from the regimental history of Saxon IR 473 / 241. Inf. Div. may be helpful. My great-grandfather was with the divisional artillery regiment, FAR 48, and fought in this sector in summer 1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emrezmen Posted 8 December , 2019 Author Share Posted 8 December , 2019 Thanks for that. Will certainly be helpful. I wish to express my respect for your great-grandfather. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Feledziak Posted 8 December , 2019 Share Posted 8 December , 2019 (edited) When I did a little research for a relative serving with an Austrian unit I found a most excellent resource absolutely rammed with maps plans and diagrams also nicely translated into English. Standby whilst I link it here. Ok click this link. http://www.comroestudios.com/StanHanna/ Edited 8 December , 2019 by Martin Feledziak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emrezmen Posted 10 December , 2019 Author Share Posted 10 December , 2019 (edited) Thank you. This is basically the Aus-Hun official history which I already have. Great stuff. I'll check it out again. Edited 10 December , 2019 by emrezmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well presented and what a gift. Clearly without the translation I would have no clue. i was able to track a great uncle who was part of IR89. He survived WW1 but was murdered at Katyn.
