St Aubin (Sword & Juno Beaches) in a series of reproductions of the Bigot Plans prepared by the GSGS (Geographic Section General Staff) for the D-Day landings in Normandy in June 1944, showing German defences & other obstacles facing the invading Allied troops. The map covers the area north of the Ouistreham map with St Aubin, Langrune-sur-mer, Lion-sur-Mer & La Brèche including parts of the landing areas known as Juno & Sword. The Bigot Plans were classified Top Secret & issued under the highest level of ” Need to Know” regulations. They were updated with aerial & intelligence information to 19th May 1944, less than three weeks before the landings. The reprints, taken from the 1:25, 000 series catalogued as GSGS 4347, are very detailed & show the terrain, obstacles & defences that the Allied forces expected to meet, with blue colour indicating those confirmed & violet those not verified. Each sheet has a topographic legend, with the two maps covering the Omaha Beach & the Sword & Juno Beaches also carrying an extensive Defence Legend for defence works, weapon types, obstacles, minefields, personnel accommodation, etc. Also provided are notes about the D-Day Landing & the particular area covered by each map.* PLEASE NOTE: only three sheets have been published so far, covering Omaha Beach, Sword & Juno Beaches, & the Pegasus Bridge area. Maps shown in grey on our series grid have not been reproduced.
