Alright i dont know if reddit did something wrong but im going to type a comment about it… First time posting so bare with me. These photos have been taken by my grandpa who was a vet of the Lapland war and was captured by the germans. Im interested if any of you the members of Norway reddit can identify any of these locations. I would appreciate it very much because im on a mission to visit some of these locations some day.
~~Edit. He took these photos when returning to Finland around 1945.~~
Edit 2. I was made aware these are a collection of postcards and photos someone else took and he bought. Didnt know about that and the person whom i could have fact checked that has been dead for 20 years.
These photos are amazing. Thank you for sharing! (You might be able to identify the Stave Church. But beyond that I cannot pinpoint the locations of these photos)
Edit: The one with the pillar might be the center of Trondheim. Also if you have the time, uploading higher quality images of the photos might help as well. (Set DPI to 600+ so the scanner can capture the image with more pixels)
6.2 and 7.1 is Trondheim. 3.1 is Geiranger, 4.1 is Oslo.
