The basis of the map is McBrides "Drang nach Osten" (permission granted), with a few modifications. S�ren had already drawn part of Germany and the Balkans (-Greece), when I came into the picture, so I've only done Turkey and Greece.
I did the Turkey map mainly by the use of maps found on www.turkeyinmaps.com, combined with an Atlas from 1969 I got.
For rails I found a website about history of turkish railways, that listed the rails in 1941. I forgot the address, sorry. I glanced at some sattelite photos for some vegetation, but since Turkey isn't going to play a major role in the scenario there also was done some random clutter of various terrain types.
Greece I used the 1969 Atlas, coupled with some old map I found in an old encyclopdeia from late 1920's. Again loosely vegitated from sattelites.

I think You should make some important changes to the map
in the next version. At least in the border areas in
connection with the initial attack. Some errors are obvious.
Regarding border areas I have noted:
1. The rail from Suwalki to Grodno goes through Augostow.
2. Draw the major rail line from Siedlce against Czeremcha.-
Wolkowysk. Used by pz zug 29. Bridge intact over Bug river.
3. The rail north of Lemberg goes on the german side of the border from Kristinopol to north of Sokal before moving over
Bug river to soviet side.
4 Along San river from Przemysl( this town on both sides) to the north the border is along the river and that makes the road and rail totally
on the german side.( as the town Radymno)
5. Further on along San river the town Sanok was not soviet
territory.
This remarks are not meant to be negative critic and I dont think my barbarossa map-41 is free from serious errors. Its just that the mentioned facts have importance for game play. GoranW
