The bottom one (1st one) looks like it could be the Schloss Bridge over the Spree river at Charlottenburg.

I don't think that this is the Schlossbrücke. On the old pic are no arches.

Could it be this Berlin bridge the so called "Bösebrücke" ?

Gerdan I posted that it was the Schloss Bridge at Charlottenburg you have shown a link to the Berlin Schloss Bridge. They are not the same. Could you show a link to the one at Charlottenburg.

[Gerdan]

I think this will help!

Thanks Gerdan that's the one I was thinking of. By the 1940's this bridge had changed a lot from the 1903 postcard. I came across a photo in Tony le Tissier's book "Berlin battlefield guide" which shows a bridge which might be this one.

Thanks guys for thoughts!

Can you post it here? What bridge it was?

Sorry I can't post the picture from the book I don't actually own it. I was just passing a shop yesterday and had a look at it and thought it looked like your picture. But this morning I came across this one
