Zoom-in on the part-convertible top, personal vehicle in front of a very interesting building.

Here is a military vehicle showing only a partial side view (Kubelwagen, perhaps?)?

Hello

The vehicle in your photo is a VW Kubelwagen Type 82.
Here is a photo from the Oldtimer's site for comparism.

Cheers

JW:

I am not certain how the photo appeared, but to me it seems to be a Taxi and after doing a lot of fiddling with my Photoshop software it looks to me like a Model A Ford which would be pretty rare in Germany at the time.

The diamond pattern along the middle of the sides of the vehicle was fairly common in many European countries at the time as was the "Landau" top which was essentially a system where the drivers position was open at the top, there was a solid portion and then a folding convertible top at the rear for the "paying passengers". The top for the driver was usually a sliding affair.

Thanks for the vehicle ID, Larry; and for your comments, Bill...yes, an interesting vehicle and good suggeestion that it could be a taxi!

I also like the view of the building structure and the corridors of NSDAP flags on either side of it. I believe the photo to be one simply taken by a visitor or tourist at the time. Thanks to forum members, the location of this building (still standing) has been identified as Berlin. There is Latin script across the top of the structure which says:

"FRIDERICUS GUILELMUS III STUDIO ANTIQUITATIS OMNIGENAE ET ARTIUM LIBERALIUM MUSEUM CONSTITUIT MDCCCXXVIII"

As identified and translated by forum member Lisa:

"Friedrich Wilhelm III dedicated this museum to the study of all antiquity and liberal arts in 1828." It is Berlin. The Altes Museum in the Lustgarten.

Don't know about the car, but the garden is 'les jardins de luxembourg' in Paris

Hi Bill , I found this photo from a Luftwaffe staffcar in the serie that I bought from the Tankwagen LG 3000 Kfz.384 , I think it is maybe usefull for your Thread.
Is the car French?

Hi Haruki

The exact same type of truck and hose pipe configuration and comments can be found in at www.wehrmacht-awards.net/forums/showthread.php?t=103325&page=3 picture #37.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Larry

There is one other thing.

If anyone has information on this electric cart (E-Karren), please let me know.

The plate on the chassis says "BERGMANN".

[Bill Murray]

Hello Torpedomaat:

Regarding your first photo, I have come to the personal conclusion that they are an apparatus for delousing the troops. Note the not too happy poses of the men in your photo.

Regarding the second, while I did find some Bergmann electric vehicle photos in my German catalogs, I did not find that exact one. However, I did find this Esslingen vehicle which for all practical purposes probably served the same role.

Hope this helps
Regards

chinese puzzle

this does not really belong here but I am running out of forums to get an ID on this truck used by the Chinese forces to tow the Russian tank.

The body style is prototypically German but the wheels and what one can see of the doors and the bonnet/hood are to me quite distinctly American.

Any ideas???

Here is on from the estand I picked up recently. It has tatra vt30 on the back but I can find no vt30 tatra just a t30.. Mike

[Bill Murray]

Hi Mike:
I will post a photo or two of these cars later tonight but to possibly answer your question I think the Polish word vojensky means military or army and the v could stand for that. The photos I have of army Tatras all use the term vojensky.

[R MICHAEL]

Ahhhhh, Makes very much sense. I had a feeling it had something to do with the military conotation. Shame the photo isn't clearer as it looks like the uniformed fellows are not Wehrmacht.

Thanks again Bill! Mike

Here are a couple of the military version, one 1930 and one 1931.
due to the early production dates for the vehicle it may well be that it is not Germans in your photo.
Sorry, Mike, the source book is coffee table type and hard to scan from
Bill, not Vill
