ID the location in a photo?

[redtail7]

I have some photos I aquired many years ago, they are WWII german aerial reconnaisance photos. they show what is probably some very famous landmarks, but since I have no knowledge of Europe I am lost to identify their location. I wonder if anyone knows of a site where I can post these photos for possible ID? Any help is appreciate. Thank You

I would either contact a war museum and ask them, or contact a few places that collect war memorabilia. If you send me a mail, I can give you an address of some one who has a pretty vast collection of memorabilia. he's in Ontario though, but you might ask him for his thoughts.

Thanks for replying Taurid, I had to leave for 2 wks after my last post sorry I took so long to reply. I have a few other ideas I will try first before I take up your offer. Thanks so much, I will be in touch. Regards Redtail7

This could be an interesting one. In the Air Photographic section of the U.K.s National Monuments Record there were some pre-war photographs of aerial views of Southern England. It was assumed, and possibly confirmed, that these were taken by cameras concealed in the fuselage of normal commercial Lufthansa passenger flights. Possibly to assemble mosaics of sites that could be used for military intelligence. Perhaps there is something on your photographs that would indicate a date or period when they were taken.

Hi I posted 4 of the 11 photos I have, these are the best quality ones so hopefully someone may recognize the landmarks. The photos were taken from a formation of Heinkel HE 111 bombers. regards Redtail7.Scan.jpg
