"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!

what is this place? a strange multi-story car park without safety barriers and the wheels up on the kerbs...?

Interesting picture. Seems that most of the cars here are Borgwards for some reason. What sort of car is the little, snub nosed model seen at bottom left?
