- Notes:
- This map was part of an important "atlas" published in 1937 as an instructional collection of suggestive maps. These model maps featured "simplistic design, a bare minimum of information . . . and a lack of supporting evidence for the claims made." Herb 1997, 91. In this case, an otherwise straightforward map of German cities outside the state border is dramatized by western Czechoslovakia shown as a mailed fist punching into Germany.
The author of this work was one of the leading figures in Nazi cartography, Dr. Dr. Friedrich Lange. (Lange had two doctoral degrees, and insisted on being described as "Dr. Dr." Herb 1997, 91.) The collection includes a number of Lange's maps: ID #1264 (87,545,000 Germans in Europe); ID #1286 (Map of German Culture in the West); ID #1257.01 (Berlin a Border State on Three Sides); ID #1257.02 (The Eastern Front German States); ID #2040 (Das ganze Deutschland soll es sein!)
