Here`s a link to a series of 416 maps form the Library of Congress.
Each quadrangle sheet shows the position of the 12th Army Group and adjacent Allied Forces and of the German units for each day from D-Day (6 June 1944) thru 26 July 1945.
On a lot of the maps after sept 1944, you can see the locations of 7th Army & 6 Corps HQs and position of all the divisions in the area by zooming in toward the bottom of the map.
These maps are very helpful for finding exact daily location of almost any unit.
HQ Twelfth Army Group situation maps
There are many more maps available from the home page including Civil War maps that i think would be of interest to our Civil War buffs on the forum.

Is any one else having issues with the JP2's? I downloaded IrfanView to view it and it seems to not work well. Any thoughts?

I haven't had much time to play with the site yet. I looked at only a couple of the maps. I didn't download anything, just zoomed in and out with the uploaded maps.
I know you need a special viewer. You stated you are using Ifranview. If I get a chance to fool with it, I will let cha know.
This site lists a couple of other viewers:

Capt, you can try downloading the MrSID viewer from the site, it may show the maps you download better. I downloaded it & it works ok on Win XP. The IrFanview should work if you download the map files as .tiff
