Rail Maps of the Soviet Union
Does anyone have any good rail road maps of the Soviet Union? I mean overviews of the European part so I can track how the front's moved, supplied themselves, and focused their axis of advance. Thanks.

Thanks, but do you have anything not in Russian? Also, do the different colors mean something and is there a legend?KDF33 wrote:There you go!

Any chance I could get you to translate the Russian words of the top section referring to different rail types?

I have more questions for you though, hopefully I'm not wearing out my welcome;
What does the untranslated column to the left of the rail road section say? I assume that's in reference to roads.
When the legend talks about 'constructed roads' what do they mean by that? How is it different than regular rail roads? I'm guessing those are under construction or were added during the war?
When the legend says 'normal gauge' that means Russian gauge, right? Is narrow gauge western european gauge?
Thanks again for your help.
