Thanks Mr. G! I'll bet not one car in the Waldau photo remains, but the aircraft pictured probably do. Here is the next challenge, and yes, you have to identify both aerodromes, but it should be a slam-dunk:

Foreground is Kansas City, Missouri. Now Kansas City Downtown. [KMKC]
Background is Kansas City, Kansas. Google Earth shows it being redeveloped.
United Airlines used to stop at KMKC on the trip from DCA to DEN. One one of my trips as a PAX, they shut the plane's door before the first officer reboarded from his walk-around. Something of a joke, I think.
Magazine photo of KMKC, likely taken in 1932.

The airport in the background is Fairfax Airport, and was home to a B-25 plant during WW.II, and now a GM auto assembly plant. You have control.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything ready to upload. Maybe I'll have something in a few minutes.
OK I have one for a challenge now. This aerodrome has been used before, but not this picture (I don't think).

Without looking further, I'd give a stab for Newark Airport, but must look for the old name. Something to do with Brewsters.....
Edit to say that Newark Airport has always been called so (save for Liberty and International). The Brewster connection is something else - need to check history (or get my head checked

Yes, it's Newark Airport. I think the passenger terminal was next to the car park nearer the camera. The port facilities in the background should have helped identify the site.
It is a convenient airport to downtown New York City because of the good road connection to the Holland Tunnel.
In the early 1930s American Airways ran an hourly shuttle from Newark to Washington, DC.
RegDep has control.

I42, correct! 
It is Peenemünde airfield on the left and the V2 Test Stand VII on the right. Later Peenemünde Air Base for Soviet Air Force.
Closeups from the same era (same British intell stuff) of the Stadion before and after the UK fans visited it:
