Temehof and it’s surroundings seem to be the subject of these police photographs, pre-1933. -
Pardon the delay, I was “detained by a visitor from Porlock”. These photos - the aerial ones - have altitude and date markings ca. 1932, Templehof and its environs, Berlin. I never knew Templehof airfield was shaped like a great big winged bird until seeing these photos.Comment

Here are more great fotos of Templehof and surrounding areas, all dates exactly on the back, in 1932, all precicesly marked for date, altitude, pilot, and photographer. All of the aerial photos have the info on back, and the official stamp of the Polizeiinstuts für Techniks und Verkehr.Comment

If anyone can help identifying the flyers and army figures in these photos, please do. I can research this Police institute for Technik and Wehrker, but I’m betting There’s an expert out there who can clue us all in and save me the trouble.Note: the man in the foreground at the table at the gathering at Templehof, also shows up as a Luftwaffe major and in a souvenir photo album in my possession, of a big Luftwaffe operation in 1938, the albums of which were given to the high - ranking leaders of the Luftwaffe who took part in the exercise. I have this album, and if you want to see it I will be happy to post. Incredible uniform photos, especially the Luftwaffe capes.
It may, again be associated with Luftwaffe reconnaissance corps(?) , given that this chap obviously flew aerial reconnaissance for the police pre-war.Comment

Respect:
Lastly, look at the respect these flyers pay, by bowing humbly to a Reichswehr figure!
Intriguing. They are all wearing leather flying Jackets, he is in army uniform.
Why the deep respect?
Also, you plane experts out there- isn’t that the Focke-Wulfe 123 that was in the previous photos? If not, what? Save me research time!
Cheers all. I really hope these pictures are interesting to some of you!!!Comment
