Details

Silk Escape Card Helsinki / Trondheim "Trondheim" on the one hand depicts Norway and Sweden. "Helsinki" on the other hand represents Finland and the Western part of Russia. Originally issued for British pilots during the Cold War. If they were shot, these 100% silk topographical and political maps of Eastern European regions could show the most useful escape routes, including railways, rivers, mines, swamps, etc. Printed on both sides of silk so they would remain legible and usable should the card get wet. Issued by the British War Office in 1945. This is the Third Edition edited by O.S. in 1952.
