Most people interested in the battle can read a map. The following postcards add a few interesting glimpses of the battlefield. It is obvious that the artists have used their imaginations to a certain extent, but using these along with the maps may give a better idea of the problems faced by the Germans and the French, fighting in the ravines and on the heights.
