This is an original so-called 'Truppenkarte' (German Army/SS Map) of the area of 'Ost. Rotterdam' in the Netherlands. The map was published in 1940 by the 'Wehrmachtsbefehlshaber in den Niederlanden' in order of the 'OKH Kriegskarten- und Vermessungs-Chef'. The map measures approximately 63 x 47 cms. The map is showing a nice ink marking of the 'SS-Polizei-Regiment 3' and the date 1 February 1944. The 3rd SS Police Regiment was formed in 1942 from existing Order Police units in the Netherlands. It remained in the Netherlands for the rest of World War II. Rare original SS marked map!
