Turkish Military Map -WWI Eastern Front, 1914 Summer Campaign (Gdańsk Bay Region)

Description:
A large-format Turkish military map illustrating the Eastern Front during World War I, specifically the 1914 summer campaign around the Gdańsk Bay region.

The map was published by the Istanbul Military Press (Askeri Matbaa) in 1990 as part of a military educational volume intended for use in military academies and officer training. It details the positions and movements of both German and Russian armies, showing their deployments across the terrain and the directions of their offensives.

Measuring 68 × 49.7 cm, the map provides a clear visual representation of troop movements and strategic geography, designed as a teaching aid rather than for contemporary battlefield use.

Although a modern (1990) printing, this piece retains historical importance as it reflects how World War I campaigns were studied and taught in Turkish military institutions decades after the war.
