Hello!
I´m interested in the WWII in North Africa (Egypt and Cirenaica). We have a lot of books about the desert battles (Tobruk, Brevety, Battleaxe, Crusader, Sidi Rezegh, Gazala...) in several languages. We also have some maps of this region (most are Italians) but they have neither the same relief nor the same level lines. I need to have topographic maps of Gazala (in the west)- Tobruk - Sollum / Halfaya / Sidi Omar (in the east) in scale 1:100.000 or 1:250.000. I have tried to enter in the web pages about museums and archives but I have problems with my English.
If you have them,can you send me a copy of these maps, please?
Thank you and sorry for my English.

Take a look at the Australian War Museum site. They have posted a number of unit war diaries from WWII as download-able PDFs, some of which include small scale maps in the appendices. I'm thinking here particularly of the 2/??? MG Bn, which has some excellent maps of the El Alamein area. It might take somedigging, but it wouldn't surprise me if you found what you are looking for there.

I will look into my map collection if there is something useful to you.
