Historical cities and towns of Krakow, Warsaw, Loslau and Auschwitz are featured on the map.

These maps were highly detailed and designed for planning reconnaissance missions and fighter/bombing missions.

They typically included topographical features, airfields, enemy defenses, and key infrastructure such as bridges, railways, and industrial targets. Many Luftwaffe maps were marked with grid systems for precise targeting and contained intelligence updates on enemy positions. Some were printed on special weather-resistant materials for use in combat conditions. Today, these maps serve as historical artifacts, providing insight into Germany's aerial strategies during the war.
