Exactly. The photos come from an article on the Norwegian Armed Forces website, where he talks about her service with Norwegian Air Forces.

No, just discover them by a chance on internet and copy together with captions.

I see. Well, unfortunately Google doesn't unearth anything useful there. Looks like the soldier in the middle has an Iron Cross 2nd Class clipped to her uniform, though. They could be nurses, but the one in the right corner of the image appears to carry a sidearm. I seem to remember @Connaught Ranger is an award collector with some knowledge on WW1. Maybe he has an idea.

No women were officially enrolled to serve in the front lines of the German Military in WW1 certainly none were authorised to carry weapons, and there were no awards of the Prussian Iron Cross Model 1914 to women as far as I am aware, the ribbon shown, if even a ribbon for the Iron Cross it denotes a combat award, the non-combatant issue was the same cross but the ribbon colors were reversed.
I get the feeling this is a bit of dress up either in the reserve area of the trenches or at a hospital behind the lines or even back in Germany itself.

The uniform looks like the "working dress" uniform worn in barracks and not that of the soldier in the field.
