Several people have identified the planes as HE-111sI think these are He-111 bombers, aren't they?
I got them from Ebay, I dont remember there was much extra information. Perhaps I should ask the seller, but likely he got it from an auction house and doesn't know either.How did you get these, any background information on them?
The guys shown are of the lowest rank of all, thus definitely no airmen.
Looking at these pictures, I was wondering where were the pictures of Rome and Tokyo. Your father in the Navy in the Pacific Theatre would have possibly encountered Japanese soldiers, sailors, and airmen. Towards the end of that conflict many of the airmen would have been Kamikazi (hope I spelled it correctly.) Most of the people that I knew, who fought in WW2, fought in the Pacific. I may be wrong but I think we lost more people in the Pacific than in Europe. (See IwoJima, Guadacanal, Okinawa, Etc.) The Axis consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan and WW2 was, truly, a World War. It ended in August 1945. It ended in Europe in May 1945. Many people were killed between May and August 1945 on both sides.........Regards!Amazing, my Dad was in the US Navy in WWII in the Pacific Theatre. He has some very similar snaps. Hopefully these fellas made it home. If they were Airmen, not likely.

Hello Foen,Wonderful job! Do you think that is any chance to get some negatives for a genuine silver print?
I do suppose we try not to shoot each other in the head.The most interesting photos and story that I have come across was written by a German officer who had just bought a Minox and 5 rolls of film (at that time each roll had 50 exposures) and shortly after was captured by the Russians. Subsequently moved from prison camp to prison camp. Can not remember name of book, in German, and, because of a fire in my study, cannot get at book because it’s with restoration people.
At one point his camera was discovered. Russian officer was fascinated by Minox and returned it. German officer should have been shot. Camera nuts are the same throughout the world.
Possibly loaded from bulk rolls.I do suppose we try not to shoot each other in the head.
I wondered why some of my 35mm rolls go into the 40+ frames why did they lower this?
My Dad was usually on a LST, the poor men flying a Kamikaze attack targeted capital ships. My Dad was a Seabee, Navy Corpsman, basically a medic in a construction battalion (CB) he saw a lot of horrible things. He was present at Iwo Jima and Okinawa horrible beyond words.Looking at these pictures, I was wondering where were the pictures of Rome and Tokyo.

The airforce has the officers go do the fighting while the rank and file stay at base.
