Love it, interesting how Central Europe was a mish mash of occupied states for the majory of the past 1000 years.

Also, looking at how long the Otteman Empire, Roman Empire and even the Soviet Union lasted a hell of a lot longer than Nazi Germany occupying neighbouring countries. It was like a two second snap shot of their invasions, puts into perspective how evil they were in such a short time.

Not as much 'pink' on the map as I'd have expected, well brown on that map. We did have control of a significant chunk of the map at one time or another :)

Most of it out side Europe.

Nice find Dennis-enjoyed that. Just wish my historical know how was a bit better to really appreciate it.

Shows how bad my geography is, and how little attention I paid to the text on the map....
