8x Foto-Negativ Negative Pilot Lastensegler Flugzeug Luftwaffe WL WW2 | eBay (http://www.ebay.de/itm/8x-Foto-Negativ-Negative-Pilot-Lastensegler-Flugzeug-Luftwaffe-WL-WW2/302650849109?hash=item4677657755:g:~u0AAOSw-uhakrtr)

In this eBay offer we can find photos of German sailplanes and gliders (Kranich , Minimoa , DFS 230 ...) and a little high wing monoplane .
I think it could be a pre-war French aircraft : I believe that the registration begins with a F- , but I am not sure at all ...
Thanks for any help

That is probably a Rheinland Schwalbe FR.2 less its lower wing and cowling.
You can see holes in the wing where the struts would fit in.

According to a post in the Flugzeugforum one was sold to France, this could be the one in the photo.

Great ! Thank you !
Marton Szigeti in Klassiker der Luftfahrt 06/2012 tells that the FR 2 D-ENAX (ex FR 1 / Kl 1 D-1169) was sold to France , where it was registered F-AOCN .
But in "Golden years of aviation" , the F-AOCN is the ex D-1364/TS-AAE/CH-342/HB-UXI .
One (more) mystery I am unable to solve ...

Anyway , a very interesting photo : probably from sommer 1940 ...
