US army maps and Russian general staff maps

for the map:

http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/western_europe/

 http://loadmap.net/en

These maps will be the base for the Bastogne map. As we see the elevation are available, there WWII maps to check the changes, and these are the maps to use.
All of them should be georeferenced and loaded to manifold and the mapmaking can be started.
