4.1.2 German Military Topographic Maps
The German forces supporting Turkey had access to small-scale Military mapping
from Austria Hungary. This was the 3rd Military Mapping Survey of Austria-
Hungary, produced in 1910 and covering the Austria-Hungary Empire and areas of
military interest to Austria-Hungary. An example map, covering the Dardanelles,
is provided in Fig.

. Whilst small-scale maps were not appropriate for engaging in
close military operations, the existence of the Austria-Hungary map series reflects
the geographical intelligence had by Turkey and its allies and the lack of such
information by the Anglo-French military planners.
