NW Europe Maps
Apologies if posted before, found these via google:

I still have aerial photo of the area near Xanten where my dad crossed, hope to get it online sometime soon.Given to the House of Commons 20 April 1653
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you?
Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter’d your conscience for bribes?
Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil’d this sacred place, and turn’d the Lord’s temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress’d, are yourselves gone!
So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!

I also have a copy of GSGS 4250 SHEET 7F1 1:50,000 CAEN.
Part of my late father's papers.
Unmarked, but somewhat creased. He only used it for a few weeks before being wounded and shipped back to UK in July 44.

RHC senior there at the same time, his map is GSGS 2738 and also very creased. Here's the photo as promised.
