Kyrre,
thanks for your answer. As you probably saw in my first post, I only took some educated guesses on the location either in south west Norway (outside Norway) or more north, but your information about the architechture and weather conditions may turn this to an Balkan "affair". BTW what is your source to your picture?
Regarding your question about Norwegian pilots attacking Norwegian soil, did I specify that anywhere?? And does the attack on Porsgrunn Mekaniske (shipyard) /ships there by 333 sqdr. on March 30th 1945 be included there?
Today:
Taken from D/F "Skarfos" July 2005.
I got inspired by some nice diving pictures you made of a Ju52 wreck on another forum (sadly I doesn't have the link anymore) Here's a picture of the forward MG-copula of the Ju52 displayed at Gardermoen. (CA + JY, Wnr 6657)
Regards,
Tormod.

I am from Stavanger in the Southwest. The typical houses of the area around Nærbø and Jæren would be more low and drawn out, while some of the houses in that pic seem to be quite large, more like they'd be in the East of Norway.
Nordlandshouses are higher and more narrow as Smithy said, but we're talking about 1000 km off when it comes to location.
Another thing is the snow. While 44/45 maybe was a cold winter you'll seldom see snow covering the area like you do in that picture. Once in a while, yes, but it is/was rare. Admittedly it WAS colder with more lasting snow in the beginning/mid last century.
Compare the pic to what you see in this one showing IIRC 16 Sqn SAAF Beaufighters busting trains etc in Yugoslavia early 1945.
What are your thoughts?
Regards,
Kyrre
Harstad, Norway.
