Update
Coast of France and most of Belgium completed. Just the complicated bit around Antwerp and Rotterdam to do. First bit of canal/river sketched in at Dunkirk. Useful drawing tools in Photoshop allow you to make these straighter than natural river courses.
Good news is that the maps I have scanned in to do the detailed coastline will also provide road rail forest and town details, so that's all getting set up as I go.
Anyway. Here is how the map_c template now looks.
Can anyone provide 1940's maps of the areas around the main ports. There has obviously been a lot of land reclamation in these areas. Will need Dieppe, Boulogne, Calais, Dunkirk, Ostende Antwerp and Rotterdam. I guess the big harbour at Gravelines nuclear plant is all recent so have ignored it and run the coast through.
