Area position codes on the continent 1944

[Alex Smart]

Hello Mikkel,

Many thanks for the swift and correct reply for both numbers.
I never seem to be able to get the correct place and always end up with somewhere in the USA when I seek some place in Germany or Italy.
Again many thanks.
In the event these two numbers/places were not the one I seek, but were for an A36 and a B25, I seek a P38 further North in the San Lorenzo Di Sebato area.

Thanks again
Alex

Hi,
Does anyone know of a converter, that will convert the grid used on GSGS 4210 map series to lat/long?

Hi
A friend of mine's father was shot down in Eastern Yugoslavia in 1945. He wants to locate and visit the crash site. We found the circumstantial report in the SAAF 16 sqdn war diaries but the coordinator translator (North Italy map) does not accept this grid reference.

Is there someone who can help to establish the coordinates for this reference?:

W.G. 905999
Yugoslavia 1/100 000
Sheet 99 Visegrad

Many thanks
Tinus

Hello,
I know it is an old post, but the map Sheet 99 Visegrad is available at
http://digitalarchive.mcmaster.ca/is...acrepo%3A10149

I guess You are looking for a Beaufighter that crashed in the Drina river
near Goražde (in the WG square, Danube grid, that is shown on the map).

Also plenty of WW2 maps, downloadable as big files (i.e. 1 GB tiffs).
