 </span></blockquote>Right, I think I know where this is - the road coming in from the <br/>
left and leaving towards Monschau at the bottom is the N258 (B258 on <br/>
your maps), and the minor road continuing along the border and <br/>
exiting stage right is heading towards Lammersdorf. Yes?<br/>
So that would make the island (if the island is indeed the bit marked <br/>
with a P) a Belgian enclave on German territory. How far did the <br/>
German ownership of the N258 extend? There&#39;s potentially a chunk of <br/>
Belgian countryside that could be carved off all the way south to the <br/>
point at which the road joins the border again.<br/>
