Cool

I have had for some time a German map of the british east coast from Felixstowe to the North Foreland and includes the mouth of the Thames.

It appears to be waterproofed and details sea depth as well as coastal towns, railways and roads.

Can anyone help me identify it's probable use. I've always thought it might have been from an E-boat.



The image above is of the top left hand corner.

Many thanks
