ok, here are some pictures my grandfather took during his time in the Luftwaffe. I gave every photo a title, but unfortunately you can only see the title when you follow the link "visit my gallery" in the upper left corner. Then click on the left side on "Russia 1941-1942". On the sown right corner you have another options menu. There you can rid of the captions.
On some of the photos you will see the fighter aces Dahl, Luetzow and Oesau.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Interesting stuff.
I'd suggest watermarking them or they will end up in some one's book somewhere without you receiving any compensation.

wrongway,
I thought about that in the first place. But I had no expenses, I didnīt make the photos, my grandfather is dead. I don`t need any compensation. If someone wants to use them...its ok for me.

That's noble, but I would reconsider. What if someone uses them in a way that you object to, or uses one to make a bunch of money? You really want no recourse?
-
Absolutely, positively the best historic photos I have seen posted yet!
Maybe this excellent collection will encourage others to do the same!
History and family should not be lost.
Thank you VERY much SirFrancis! (Vielen Dank!)

That's very cool. My grandfather was in the US Army. My dad has the stuff he brought back but I don't know of any pictures. He has a German rifle, some medals, money the normal stuff. My Dad (marines) was in Vietnam he also has pics, money, a knife he used while there called an ear knife (you can imagine what that was used for) and some other misc. stuff. All very interesting and proud that they survived the wars there where in.
<S> to your gramps and to you for holding these items as family heirlooms.
I would suggest you take the advise of some of these people there is no need for someone else to make money from your grandfather and what he went through.....war is hell!

Great pics.
I should dig mine out and scan them.

Oh yeah, and +1 to this.
Never underestimate the ability of a human being to reduce himself to scum when money is involved.
Watermark them.

They are great pics I forgot to say in my other post...
Grandfather was obviously a German huh? What was his position?
-
Wow! Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. I assume the guy who shows up again and again was your grandfather?
:salute

He was a technical officer. Kind off a testpilot. As far as I know he flew all kind of different aircraft including captured aircraft.

No, the guy that showed up again and again is Luetzow -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCnther_L%C3%BCtzow

going to add more.

Great stuff! thanks for sharing those with us :)

It makes WWII seem more personal when you see pictures like that.

Very well put together! :aok Ahh was wondering who the pilots with the knights cross were.

Great pics. Any way to identify an individual pics?
There is one in there of somone sitting in the cockpit of eithere a 109 or 190 (though Im guessing 109 because I saw no other pics of 190's there) that easily shows even from a side angle the rather good visibility,particularly over the nose and 10-2:00 positions .
Certainly better then we have in game.

I think you mean this picture. The pilots name is Achenbach. He died 1942 at the eastfront. The picture was taken 1940 during pilottraining.
edit: it should be a 109. But I am not very sure! On the left side of the cockpit you see a rotor very near. So maybe not a 109, but kind of plane with two props?
If you need more infos concerning the photos, please feel free to send me a pm.

Looks like an early Bf 110 to me.
