The list appears to avoid mentioning war years tourist guides about occupied territories which may have been published in the 1940s.

The first post-World War II old-style Baedekers in English were published in the 1950s by Karl Baedeker Verlag, Hamburg, after the firm was revived in 1948.

A guide to the General Government, the Polish land occupied by Germany, was published in 1943. Source: Marian Mark Drozdowski, The history of the Warsaw Ghetto in the Light of the Reports of Ludwig Fischer, Polin, Vol. 3, 1988, pp. 189–199, cited in T. Snyder, Blood Lands, Vintage, 2010, p. 145.
