Helmuth's WW1 (base) maps

For my alternate WW1 threads I made some maps, which I really like to do. Sometimes I get the question whether my base maps can be used for someone's own ATL. I have no problem with that, but a reference would of course be greatly appreciated!

In this thread I will post my (base) maps for easier access. In addition, I make some of my geodata available in Google Earth kml files (also useful in QGIS), so you can explore 1914's Europe from the couch ;)
 
Map of Europe with borders of 1914, political. I made this map for my thread "East first! Europe after a German / CP victory in 1916".

The 1914 borders of Europe are available in a Google Earth kml file (updated on 22-02-2024).
