Basing on Rising Sun’s perceptions I conclude it’s Wernher von Braun and some other German scientists (Dornberger, Axter, Lindenberg) while being arrested by US troops in Bavaria in early May 1945.
Yes, he qualifies as a German airman, although not a conventional one.
I’m going out on a limb here, but I think FTG might be getting warm. 
In which case it is FTG’s turn.
Correct FTG.Photo description from my book,from left to right are Major Gen.Walter Dornberger,commander of the V-2 laboratory;Lieut Col. Berbert Axter,scientist;Professor Wernher von Braun,inventor of the V-2 rocket; and Hans Lindenberg;scientist.von Braun broke his arm in auto accident.After the war von Braun came to the United States and became a citizen.
Von Braun worked on the American intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) program before joining NASA, where he served as director of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and the chief architect of the Saturn V launch vehicle, the superbooster that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon.[3] In the words of NASA, he is “without doubt, the greatest rocket scientist in history. His crowning achievement … was to lead the development of the Saturn V booster rocket that helped land the first men on the Moon in July 1969.”[4] He received the 1975 National Medal of Science.

Singapore, 1941: The conclusion of the ill fated, ignominious Malaysian Campaign (for the British that is. For the Japanese, it went swimmingly)…
*Correction: the surrender was at the beginning of 1942…
Bleeeh, the riddle was 8 minutes young and the attached photo had about 0 views until you answered…
Anyway, you’re right. The guy on the left (holding the white flag) would be one Major Wild on the way to the capitulation.
Sorry.
This one might be a bit on the easy side, but pay close attention to the leggings of the man under the crate…

Ha! Very good. I suspected that it wouldn’t last long and was hoping some might mistake it for Anzio. LT. Blaine actually commanded the beach for a bit, before he was killed like most of the Canadian officers before him…
Hello!
I want to put out a bit unconventional picture for this thread. I think it could be fun.
Tell the year, the country and, and the purpose of the shown structure.
outside:
and inside:
Something to do with the Manhattan Project.
It’s a site in America. Maybe Oak Ridge, Tennessee or Hanford, Washington State, in view of the snow on the ground.
It’s a stack of graphite blocks, presumably around uranium.
Probably 1943 as it’s a pretty primitive set up and Fermi had already demonstrated fission with a more sophisticated set up in Chicago in December 1942 and Hanford and Oak Ridge didn’t get going until 1943.
I am impressed.
The year is right - 1943.
The rest is not completely right, but very warm! 
pdf27 can work it out from here on, because he knows about that stuff.
I’m going to have a beer instead, or I will hurt my brain by trying to work out stuff I know nothing about.
Ummm, I’ve had a beer and it’s occurred to me that there was a debate about whether to go for fusion or fission early in the Manhattan Project.
Is this something to do with a fusion experiment?
If so, is the inked number “1” to the cellar door in the second picture the refuge for when the atmosphere catches fire?
Here are the answers, my dear Mr. Egorka: 1943, Soviet Union, Kurchatov-tent (Палатка Kурчатова), officially Laboratory No.2 for experiments with nuclear fission (also known as Dedushka).
Fortunately, some old books written by И. B. Петряанов-Соколов even today are in attendance in my good old library.
That makes sense, and much more so with the ‘Shroud of Rasputin’ image on the board leaning against the stack.
Bingo!
Despite the Rising Sun’s titanic and impressivly close shot, you are 101% right in here. Your turn.
Excellent! In that case, honorable ladies and gentlemen, here it is:
In accordance with our standard practice in this thread, your task will be correct identification of time, place, and object.
In the meantime, as always – all the best!
Can we eliminate US Navy and Royal Navy,not a 100% percent on RN though ?Those torpedo tubes and single smoke stack are what I have been using for clues.Still searching.
