This is an absolutely original two-sided Third Reich color map produced to give to Aral gasoline customers. It is the very informative B.V.-Aral Karte or map number 6 that covers the large area between Kassel, Hannover to Leipzig and Berlin. We can not find a date but freeway stretches finished by 1 January 1936 are marked on the map as are stretches of the Reichsautobahn expected to be finished in 1936.
Completely unfolded B.V.-Aral Karte 6 measures 18 x 25 inches. The scale is 1:500,00 meaning that 1 centimeter (about ½ inch) equals 5 kilometers. Cities with Aral gas stations are marked with a special blue dot, and little orange flags mark Derop-Benzin-Pumpen or Derop gas stations. Derop is the abbreviation for Deutsche Vertriebsgesellschaft für Russische Ölprodukte, so even in the 1930s Russian energy products were available in Germany!
The back side of this Nazi color map has close-up maps for the city centers of cities like Greater-Berlin, Leipzig, Halle, Magdeburg, Kassel, Braunschweig, Erfurt, Weimar and others as well as suggestions for scenic drives ranging from 125 to 440 kilometers.
In very good, little used condition and absolutely original to the Third Reich period in Germany.
