The "Dornier" pictures of my grandfather

Hello everyone,

i'm new here. My name is Volker, i'm from germany, and a user of this board, Marc-André Haldimann, recommended to post some of my grandfathers's photos here. Maybe some of the experts here can say something about date and place these photos were taken, or maybe everybody just enjoys to see them. One thing in advance: My grandfather was everything but a blessed photographer, and sixty years of lying around did not improve the quality either.

Some facts about my grandfather:

His name was Heinrich Wunsch, he was born in 1911, and he worked for the Zeppelin Company in Friedrichshafen. Later he started working for Dornier, also in Friedrichshafen. He was, according to my grandmother, airplane mechanic throughout the war. He never talked about this time, so little fact is known to me. He was in France, the Netherlands, and Russia. He died in 1984.
When my grandmother died in 2005, i found a metal box under her bed containing lots of undeveloped negatives. These are the photos shown here.

1) One ofthe places he has been, i think in France. Does somebody know the town ?



2) A JU-52, pretty well hidden:

3) Here we have a well hidden DO-17:



I'll continue in part 2.
