I'll have to give that a try. For the longest time, I've been using Weather master (with a hack to get it to run since it's long out of publication so I couldn't transfer the license to my new computer) and it works great.

The US Army had 1:50,000 maps of just about every place on earth (mild hyperbole). The link below is the index page for its maps of Poland, C/O the University of Texas. If you click back to the site's main index, there are maps for nearly every place else.

According to this site, Soviet military maps of Poland (and other East Bloc) countries are better (more accurate, detailed, etc.).

That tracks, as Poland was essentially under Soviet occupation from 1945-1991.
