According to its "Historic Maps" program, ASDE-Ecoregions offers below a map of the Balkan Peninsula and the Eastern Mediterranean, printed by the German Reich planned camara in 1941. The map is with military-strategic purpose, but it is based on classical geographic information from the era which is more important to us.

Old maps of the Republic of Bulgaria from the collection of Vasil Radoslavov
Many of our compatriots living abroad have a strong connection with their mother country, Bulgaria. Some of them, as heirs of Mr. Vassil Radoslavov, grandson of the youngest Bulgarian Prime Minister with the same family, have for years collected maps and documents related to Bulgarian history, which were finally donated to the state or scientific institutes for free. In 2011 the collected maps were presented to our embassy in Berlin by the successors of V. Radoslavov.
With the kind assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bulgaria and personally to N.P. Rusy Ivanov, temporary managing director of the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in Berlin, for the period 2011-2012, ASDE-Ecoregions was given the opportunity to shoot some of the old maps for Bulgaria and the Balkan peninsula gathered by the patriotic Bulgarian. The geospatial collection was included in the Geoportal and allow scientists, learners and fanciers to get acquainted with this accumulated wealth.
