"Early August 1944......."
A young nurse of the Free French 2nd Armored Division (French: 2e Division Blindée) with some help stencils the Divisional badge (map of France on a blue background surmounted by a stylized cross of Lorraine in relief) on a requisitioned Kubelwagen shortly before they liberated Paris in August 1944.

One thing I notice in a lot of these Kubelwagen photos are what appears to be leaky rear axle seals. Some things never change! _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.

It's a vertical garage, with cars stacked up on shelves. It's described as "An "autosilo" garage in Karlsruhe, Germany. June 4, 1955." I cropped that photo to focus on the VW. Here's the full picture (click to enlarge):
