Thank you very much Armin for taking the time and helping me.
I believe the word written at the top of photos number 1, 5 and 6 is "Hovedoya", an island in the Oslo Fjord. During the German occupation of Norway, the island was the site of a German military camp.

Regards,

Can anyone read the name of the Leutnant? He was Adjutant of III./ Inf.Rgt.57 in late 1939.

Großadmiral,

There is not enough writing, it could be:

Hermann Knie
