Winkel's Tripel and Historical Accuracy

Post by quadibloc »

Some time back, I found on the Internet Archive a book, titled "Soldaten-Atlas", which was used by German soldiers during World War II. It contained world maps in it on the Winkel Tripel projection.
Recently, I was watching on YouTube one of the many videos made by putting in new words to a scene of Hitler berating his subordinates on the occasion of discovering that the war was lost and Allied forces were closing in on him. This time, I noticed that a world map behind Hitler was also on the Winkel Tripel projection!

Some unknown hero made sure the props were authentic, all the way down to the map projection…

Sweet.
