Hello again
stcamp I have asked about this photo with Himmler on the Polish forum http://www.odkrywca-online.pl/pokaz_wat ... orum=0#ost and it was identified as a pre-war picture. It is a picture that shows the visit of Himmler as a chief of German police in Warsaw in February 1939. Himmler was invited by general Jozef Kordian-Zamorski (Polish officer on the right). Between 1935 and 1939 Kordian-Zamorski was the chief of the Polish State Police.
At the link above there is also posted a picture that show Ribbentrop's visit in Warsaw in January 1939.
Best regards

Minimus,

Interesting foto. Did you notice the shadow of the plane across the dome? What year was this taken?
It looks like an American P-61 Nightfighter.

Hi stcamp,

I sure noticed the shadow. It is visible in the other one as well.

Apparently the pictures were taken sometime towards the end of June or beginning of July 1944. So thats just a little before the start of the Warsaw Uprising and could be last pictures of many of those buildings.

The plane is German Focke Wulf Fw 189 Eule. I think its a recce plane.

Glad you liked it.

BTW. Did you call the pic after me ;-)?

BTW2. This church nowadays is just a very poor copy of the original. But that goes for most of Warsaw :-(

Hi Minimus,

LOL. no, that is what the site called it. To get fotos like that just right click on them and save it to your pc.
Yes, it wouldnt make sense for it to be a US plane.

I am going to have to stop posting fotos as I have almost used up my space quota.

These are the latest from my collection. I left the sellers watermark on them as I don't like repeated scanning of these old fotos.

These are different from all the others. One looks like a water tower? The burning house I don't understand. The one of the building with the garage bays is I think a Gendarmerie building. The other is somewhere in old town by the look of the lamp post.
