Hj Sturm,
I've been trying to figure that one out also. I can't match the body but maybe it could be a Büssing-NAG Type 900 N chassis?

Hi Sturm and Max,
Of course it is Büssing 900N, those wheel hubs are unmistakable!
Have another one with the same body, from memory the coachbuilder is Komnick:



Cheers!

Thank you, ilfil...

Special Blitz bus in Warsaw. Can anyone please help with the inscriptions/function?

Hi Max,
With the total lack of tactical signs it is hard to say what this van is, I guess it was used as a mobile store or sort of.
Talking about the slogans, it seems to me the one on the noteboard above the windshield is in German slang, the upper line at least, and my loose translation could be "Greetings tonight! [your] Dear". Oddly the word "Dear" ("Pusinko") is in Czech. Are you sure this is Warsaw?
Cheers!

Hello ilfil,
Thanks for the translation. Not sure whether it is really Warsaw but this is what it says on the reverse:

Quite amusing grafitti for a WH vehicle in ant case.

Hi Max, hi ilfil,

first to the translation of the reverse: Warsaw before the journey home the vehicles were decorated.
To the words on the Opel: it is no slang, but a dialect (Bavarian or Austrian): On the roof: (I) Greet You later. On the side: Come on, open Your (window)! In small letters: Usw. = And so on. That´s referring to an old tradition in Bavaria and Austria, that a young woman should open the window of the room they was sleeping in, that a young guy could enter on a ladder. Here an old postcard with this situation.

Hi Bert,
That's great! Thanks for putting this all into context. These old pictures are made even more interesting when you know "the rest of the story".

Büssing Type VI GLn (I think).
