Completed on 20 July 1942, this rare and confidential German military intelligence handbook was issued to help the Axis defend Morocco during the North African Campaign, which was then under the control of the Vichy French and Spain. TEXT: The Text volume, mostly printed to the rectos only, is stated as an incomplete draft, with all departments asked to write comments and help complete it (p2). It organises information into: A. Overview (location, borders, size, history, admin); physical geography; population and settlement; economy; transport); B. Individual Landscapes (Rif Atlas; western Morocco; Middle Atlas; High Atlas; southern Morocco; eastern Morocco; and the north coast); and C. Details (admin divisions; geographical terms; water; electric power stations in French Morocco; route descriptions; airfields and main landing sites; main telephone lines and radio stations, etc). The ORTSBESCHREIBUNGEN includes 26 of the most important settlements in French and Spanish Morocco, including Tangier. They were selected based on their size, number of inhabitants, and military, administrative and economic importance. They are presented alphabetically from Agadir to Tiznit, each with b/w plan and description. BILDHEFT: the Picture volume follows the order of landscapes presented in Text Volume (B). Naturally, there is much focus on transport links, city layouts, factories etc. There are also images of traditional architecture and people. MAPS: the 8 highly detailed maps include: Ubersichtskarte von Marokko 1:2,000,000, 71x70cm; Strassenkarte von Marokko 1:1,000,000, 110x100cm with insets for Casablanca to Rabat, environs of Fes, Mogador to Agadir, and environs of Marrakesh; and 6x 1:10,000 Mil-Geo Plans for Casablanca 81x75cm; Rabat-Sale 60x80cm; Port Lyautey and Mehdia 70x80cm (3 plans on 1 sheet); Meknes 68x70cm; Fes 65x75cm; and Marrakech 74x66cm.
