<div id="ygrps-yiv-951246406">Hello,<br/>
<br/>
Under &quot;Files&quot; I have posted a small excerpt from the <br/>
map &quot;Mitteleuroppa nach dem 1. Weltkrieg&quot; [Central Europe after the <br/>
1. World War]; Grosser historischer Weltatlas, III. Teil, Neuzeit; <br/>
Munich 1967.<br/>
<br/>
(Picture name &quot;Flaschenhals&quot;.)<br/>
<br/>
The &quot;Flaschenhals&quot; or bottleneck is the red-striped part between <br/>
Koblenz (yellow-striped US-zone) and Wiesbaden (purple-striped French <br/>
zone). The legenda notes &quot;Territories occupied after the conclusion <br/>
of the Treaty of Versailles, 1920-1925&quot; for all these red-striped <br/>
territories.<br/>
<br/>
From this map the zone appears to have been broad enough to contain <br/>
at least some road connections to the rest of Germany. OTOH one <br/>
should remember that this was a period of weak central government and <br/>
almost total anarchy in some parts of Germany.</div>
