File:Rzeczpospolita 1939.svg

Summary

Description	Test version of a vectorized File:Rzeczpospolita 1920.png; more changes will follow, only checking if wiki displays it right
Date	11 March 2008
Source	Own work; based on an earlier raster map made in 2005, as well as similar maps made by myself in 2004 (see below). In preparation of this map I used many other maps as sources and backup. Among them were: a German roadmap of Poland printed in 1938 (colours and the shape of East Prussian border), and (shape of Czechoslovakia), (Polish and German rivers), and perhaps a dozen others.
Author	Halibutt

To do list:

•  Done MAKE THE MAP RASTERISE PROPERLY
•  Done add Romania
•  Done scale up the town markers
•  Done add towns and names
•  Done add large city markers for capitals and major cities ( )
•  Done redraw main rivers
  •  Done Danube
  •  Done Vistula
  •  Done Dneper
  •  Done Oder
• correct Estonian eastern border (Narva)
• Extend the map slightly to the west to include Oder and Nysa rivers (post-war borders of Poland)
• Add more towns in Germany, Hungary, Estonia, Bolshevist Russia and perhaps Romania
• Correct rivers in East Prussia and Latvia
• Add rivers in the east of the map (that's where the legend used to be in the .png map)
• Volgograd => Voronezh
• shape of Czarnohora salient (too wide, slightly too short)
• change name cause people look at the file name and think it's "Poland on January 1, 1939" and not "more or less Poland in the inter-war period"
•  ??? any suggestions?
