I believe the Marschbewegung map came from Rundstedt’s HQ at OB West. The markings on the Lage West maps were made by hand, so exact copies were probably not distributed among different HQs. I would imagine that the same basic information was shown on daily maps at Rommel’s Heeresgruppe B, Rundstedt’s OB West, and Hitler’s Rastenburg OKW HQ. Which HQ these maps came from I don’t know, but I’m guessing they are from OKW. The proof of that will come when I post the 20 July 1944 map; if it’s a little singed and burned with some holes and plaster dust on it, it’s from OKW.

I will try to post these daily as they are really cool. Too bad I can’t find the 1944 maps for Lage Ost. I wish I’d found these maps earlier.

It's interesting that Hitler refuses to look at the maps.

His denial of reality deepens as he realizes we can't be dislodged now in Normandy and as Russian troops get ever closer to the German border.
