Its a Bf 109 E, possibly an E-3.

109's with Jumo engine, like B, C and D, has a two blade propeller.

Re: Photos 11-29

Neither. It is an E-1 or E-3 according to the cockpit canopy.
I believe it is an E-1 due to the fact that other photos, of what I believe is this ac, shows no wing bulges for the 20mm MG FF cannon magazines on the wing under sides, which the E-3 had.
No cockpit armour also indicates an E-1.

I believe this can be the same aircraft as on on p. 224 in Die JDL Teil 3 by Prien et al.
Here it is participating as one of two 109 Es in a ceremony captioned as probably taking place in Brüssel-Evère and 8 Staffel JG26. I have four photos from this ceremony in which some flag covered coffins can be seen at one photo. All from eBay. This is a detail from one of them:

Hi,

I think these photos were taken earlier in spring 1940 in Germany.
