These photos (of about 40) were taken in 1944 on Saipan by Herman Sonntag, after the Battle of Saipan. His son, Alan, is here for 48 hours and wishes to visit these spots. Can anyone provide any leads on exactly where these sites are?

I had a unique opportunity to meet, tour and interview with Wesam Behbehani and her sister, Weam, from Kuwait. Wesam, who focuses on off-the-beaten-path destinations, provides vicarious travel enjoyment to her 15,000 mostly Kuwaiti Instagram followers who are unable to travel due to prohibitive logistics and expense.
