TopKarten (or somebody) used to offer reanalysis synoptic archives
going back to the 1890s but I cannot now find anything before 1948.

Last year I gave my sister a 60th birthday present of the chart for
the day she was born in 1947. *She now wants to know if I can do the
same for her husband's 65th (born April 1943.)

They are still there. On the main page click "Bodendruckkarten
1880-1950". That takes you he
http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/fsslpeur.html

e.g. the chart for April 1 1943 is at http://www.wetterzentrale.de/archive...lp19430401.gif

So if you want to access a chart directly, use the above URL and edit
the date parts (after "/slp/") as required.
