Hello guys,
a couple of weeks ago, I uploaded pics for a history documentary, which unfortunately had no direct link to cars (except featuring vintage cars), so it got deleted.
But since I do not want to withhold these vehicles, and also because I really want to know what some models are, here they are.
If you have any idea about the unidentified ones, or want to correct me on the identified ones, post a comment
BMW 326
The IZ plate is from the Rhine Province.
BMW 327 Cabrio
The IA plate is from Berlin.
Büssing-N.A.G. unknown
The RP plate means "Reichspost" ("Reich Mail"). These red busses were used to transport people as well as mail. This footage was made in Grudziądz, Poland.
Büssing D3
This was one of the standard Berlin busses in the 1930s. Nothing has changed, since the BVG uses MAN double deckers today - the lion in the MAN logo was introduced after taking over Büssing, since it was their old logo.
Citroen unknown "Traction"
Seen in Paris (ca. 1940 - 1942), Avenue des Champs-Élysées. The Citroen is a Wehrmacht staff car (most probably WH plate).
