The German Military Geology Units (Wehrgeologenstelle) confiscated maps and geological reports from other countries as they invaded their neighbors, using their own maps against them. These, too, were hidden in a salt mine shaft in Heringen, Germany, where they were discovered by Patton's troops in March 1945. Most of these 23,000 items were considered weapons of war and were not returned, but still reside in the US. I wrote an article about this issue of stolen maps in the November 2008 issue of "Earth Sciences History", volume 27, no. 2, pages 242-265, "The Heringen Collection of the US Geological Survey Library, Reston, VA" The Monuments Men handled materials looted by the German
