Ηelloo,

Nr. 2, the black car is a Fiat 508 C "Balilla 1100", the other two are Vw. Kübelwagen of the Luftwaffe, probably belonged to the unit Aufklärungsstaffel 2.(F)/11 (according to the Staffel emblem)

Hi,

on pic. 07 + 08 in the foreground you can see some Siebelfähren.

I think, that May 1941 is maybe an error?

Nice picturen.

Greetings

Darius
