The 1937 Akademische Auslands-Austausch-Dienst (AAAD) Map of German Universities serves as an invaluable resource for international students aspiring to study in Germany amidst the backdrop of the Nazi era. Covering the entire country, it meticulously delineates all universities, technical universities, and colleges offering programs for foreign students, providing comprehensive insights into Germany's academic landscape during a tumultuous period.

A defining feature of the map is its detailed depiction of German universities, distinguished by distinct symbols reflecting their size and academic focus. Larger symbols denote prominent institutions, while smaller ones represent specialized colleges, facilitating quick identification and comparison for prospective students.

In addition to symbol differentiation, the map offers succinct descriptions of each university's foreign student programs, including admission criteria, tuition fees, and language prerequisites. This wealth of information empowers international students to make informed decisions about their academic pursuits in Germany.

Facilitating travel and navigation, the map includes major transportation routes such as highways, railroads, and airports, aiding students in reaching their chosen institutions with ease. An index of universities further streamlines the search process, allowing students to locate specific institutions swiftly.

Of historical significance, the AAAD Map reflects the Nazi regime's propaganda efforts to attract foreign students, promoting Germany's academic prowess while obscuring the political and social climate of the time. It serves as a poignant reminder of the era's restrictions on Jewish students and scholars, shedding light on the complexities of education under Nazi rule.

Appreciated for its historical insight and unique perspective on German higher education during a turbulent period, the AAAD Map holds significant collectible value among historians, World War II enthusiasts, and collectors of educational memorabilia. Original copies in pristine condition are prized possessions, offering a tangible connection to Germany's academic past amidst a challenging historical backdrop.
