Great photos remco!
It looks like we have visited the same locations!

[deejay]

Thanks for sharing these! That looks like Sepp Dietrich in #31.
I have uploaded some periode footage of some these locations at http://youtu.be/9LC1-s_B2Ac.

It shows paratroopers and SS troops of the Leibstandarte AH near and in Rotterdam (check the bridge at 3:15, Prins Hendrikkade 4:16, the guy who looks like Sepp Dietrich at 8:35) and also the relentless bombing of Rotterdam as to force the capitulation.

Sorry about the bad quality..

On the right side was bakery Jongerius (headquarters of Hauptmann Walther).
The picture is taken in the direction of the Dordrecht bridge (Dokweg) the road on the left side is the Rijkstraatweg , nowadays The Laan der Verenigde Naties.
And around the corner by the bakery starts the Weeskinderendijk.
