Old city maps would be the best choice, together with autoroute maps. Both can be found on the net. Also recon photos can be used for comparison. At least that is how most serious map builders for IL-2 work.
She using it to make main streets and squares cities look, comparing with 1939 year map and then making our own.

Its why I told on Russian forum that impossible to use directly sattelite maps for 1940-45 years action.

The goal is to get it close look like photo realistic, like it was, but not like it is now.
