"geography lesson"
 
   Something I'm not sure I've mentioned in the Annotations is that I use Google Maps to keep track of where things are happening in Our Witches at War and Gallian Gothic. Over the course of the series I've built up a little pile of waypoints that probably have some algorithm somewhere thinking I'm planning a European vacation. Earlier it occurred to me that it might be fun to share a snapshot of the process, in order to give a clearer idea of where various events in the series have happened relative to each other.

The five starred locations with the yellow pins are places where things have happened in the last few episodes:

- The one in the middle of the English Channel is the approximate location of the SS Hyperion rescue battle in To Glory We Steer.
- The one on the English coast is Folkestone, the approximate location of both HMS Barbican and RAF Crone Rock (the latter of which is set on a fictional island just off Folkestone Beach).
- The triangle of stars in the east of the map are the key locations in Witch Hunt. The southern one is Château Saint-Ulrich, the one to the north of it is Château de Lichtenberg, and the one near Stuttgart is Schloss Hexeberg (in real life, Waldeck Castle).

Several other notable places in the series are visible within the bounds of this map, though not specifically starred, including Colmar, just to the south of Saint-Ulrich; Freiburg, which is right across the Rhine to the east of Colmar; Paris, of course; Bruges, up on the Belgian coast; Le Havre, northwest of Paris, where Hyperion and Prinzessin Eugenie put in at the end of To Glory We Steer; and, in the lower right corner, the area in Switzerland between Zürich and Basel where Meiling and Flandre are currently having a bit of a hike. Also, this view is too zoomed out for the dot to appear, but the Fortress of Mimoyecques is a short distance southwest of Calais, right across the Channel from Folkestone.

It's a busy little corner of the world in the summer of '46...
