This is the car stop "au petit moulin" in Koksijde, Belgium.
Stella Artois is also well known in France.

This is how it looks today, not as cozy as it used to be.

This picture is from Bebelallée 72 in Hamburg, Germany (building behind). It was the headquarters for the Swedish Red Cross children aid in Germany between January 1946 and April 1949. Bebelallée 74 was also included.

I don't know who is behind the wheel or the exact time the picture is taken but it's between springtime 1947 and springtime 1949. In December 1946 the Swedish Red Cross bought 20 Volkswagens from CCG (they also bought a couple of more cars in 1947 and 1948). The cars was used in Hamburg, Berlin and in the Ruhr area, in total six places. Mainly used for managing the delivery of the "Schwedensuppe" to children in the age 3 to 6.

I'm interested in more pictures of these cars and stories as well.

I have seen the first two photos. I also assume the first one is from delivery in Volkswagenwerk. It was the SRC staff that painted the logos. I have some more info about that and I actually know the story about the wrecked car (the second picture of it I haven't seen before, thank you).

I will get back about the above stories in a couple of weeks. These stories will soon be released in the VW community in Sweden and I don't want to uncover it here before that Very Happy

The last picture of the registration papers is really interesting. It's one of the 20 SRC cars. I did know that three of these cars got Swedish registration in 1948 and it was in that date but not knowing which cars (they did register more cars in Sweden later on until 1951). Sadly the left part of the paper is missing in the picture where the Swedish license number is written. If I get that number I can track the car historically in Sweden. The bottom part is also missing with valuable info.
