Hi there again, during the holidays I got the chance to inspect the mentioned photographs in detail. The timeframe of the album can be established starting around the Battle of France (May 1940). There is a date for the May-celebration 1941 in Bruxelles. The last image shows Fort IV in Antwerp after the English attack on April 5th, 1943.

Many of the images are what I would call tourist-style: Liege, Bruxelles, Paris and Antwerp. Some contain general war related topics, such as destroyed tanks or ships. Not helpful for finding out more about my grandfathers military service... The only unit named is Flzgr. Belg./Nordfr. Gr. II (sometimes also Lzgr. B./N.). I figure this is Luftzeuggruppe Belgien/Nordfrankreich. This unit appears to be stationed in Bruxelles between June 1940 until June 1944. This is consistent with an image of General Maelzer. I found a Kurt Maelzer as Commander of the Air-Equipment-Group with Air-Region-Command Belgium-North France (28 May 1940-00 Sep 1942). The only other prominent person is Oberstltnt. Moelders (Kommodore J.G. 51).

Potentially more helpful are the names of (I presume) comrades. Unfortunately I was not able to track any of them (for instance using the Kracker Luftwaffe Archive):

Feldw. Esch

Insp. Gebhardt

Feldw. Oskar Seyschab (noted as died in a crash 1941 in Warsaw)

Stfw. Weimann

Does anyone have information on these people?
