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, 189-199, cited in T. Snyder 'Blood Lands' Vintage, 2010, p145.
