Thanks, I already seen this page but it is impossible to say with which kind of camera he took all the pictures I have.

It's funny because when you look at the 6th picture I have an almost similar one with (according the infos I got from my father) german prisoners marching the street. I'd need a professional to look at that.

Think. During the time period, there were only X models of the Verascope made. So you can make a pretty good guess when it was made. Also, the glass plates may have some tell tale signs from the film gate. On the other hand, you have the plates and that would satisfy me. I have nothing else to contribute. Now you need only research military records to see what campaigns and units grandpa served in. Good luck. Mine from WW 1 are lost in the mist of history. Heritage research is a big thing nowadays. That you have actual photos of his units will tell a whole lot. Lucky you are. Bonne chance.
