I was thinking about those 2 cars too.

I think the truck is a DKW truck?

I'm not sure on the car, looks sort of Rometsch like?

I think Everett got it! DKW Schnell-Laster pickup, one of several body styles offered from 1949 thru 1962. German name for rapid transporter. Here's a shot from a slightly later one. The one in the photo has its grill blacked out and swept back; looks like a "Groucho" moustache. Drivetrain was opposite configuration of VW Type 2, with 2-stroke, 2-cyl. water-cooled engine mounted transversely at the front of the vehicle, driving the front wheels.

I'm having a hard time imagining an early '90s Wartburg 353 at a classic car show (the tan car partially hidden behind the DKW truck).

To me they look like real soldiers, rather than propaganda.
