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

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.
