German aerial photographs of Leningrad 1942
I recently stumbled upon one wonderful website www.wwii-photos-maps.com , where aerial photographs of the Second World War from the German aircraft were posted. The bulk of the images laid out falls on 3 cities (and their environs): Leningrad, Stalingrad and Warsaw.

At the same time, in the photographs indicated as Leningrad, I found several photographs in the Kirov area. The pictures differ in resolution, while for Warsaw and Leningrad the resolution is up to 2 meters per pixel, then for Stalingrad a maximum of about 10.

Seeing all this splendor, I decided to do the binding and gluing of images, especially since the 65th anniversary of the victory is on my nose.
For starters, I am posting a mosaic of pictures of Kronstadt and Leningrad. All pictures are from 1942, from May to September. Most are covered with ~ 2.5 and ~ 4 m / n images.
what eventually happened .

I tied on the remaining buildings, in the absence of those I tried to find similar features of the terrain (I tried to act as carefully as possible, rechecked everything several times). For the standard took Google (and what to do). The whole mosaic is made from 63 pictures. One 2 meter sheet, in the original, covers an area of approximately 2x2 km.
PS Pictures are not all added, I will try to finish in a couple of weeks.
