Thank you! Given that I unfortunetly don't live in Poland and don't have access to Polish books on the subject (I just bought a book on the subject of this specific battle itself but it'll be delivered to me next month), I had to base the map on a current satellite view of the battle site, an early 20th century map of the overall region which showed building clusters, roads, rivers, and various information and simplified battle maps and textual secondary sources from the internet. To make the map I traced the elements (barbed wire, buildings, roads, trees, etc) from a few Hell Let Loose maps in a program called "Rhino 7." I then traced over the historic maps of the battle site in "Rhino 7" and then modified line weights and colors in "Adobe Illustrator." Finally I made a few small tweaks in "Adobe Photoshop."
