Anymore information on that ambulance beetle? Does anybody have other photos? |
Then there is this other one from what I seem to remember was an exposition in Brussels around 1948 or early 1949. However, it may be more of a patient transport type of configuration instead of an ambulance due to the absence of the roof mounted supply chest, frosted windows and ambulance cross.

the writing on the building in the photo above is rather prophetic - the reunification of germany is above all a matter for the germans alone |

First I also thought it would have been written on the building - but after a closer look it might be written on the picture... |

The logo on the window is the one of the "Gesellschaft für Deutsch-Sowjetische Freundschaft" (Society for German-Soviet Friendship). I dare to say that ist was written on the wall... |

It was not about the intention of the writing or other circumstances, but these lettres are not influenzed by the wodden structure below. And I doubt the first line would reflect the light so bright when it is placed in the shaddow |

The letters were probably made of wood or paperboard. The "N" and the "T" on the right are slightly offset because they are fixed to the framework of the window.
But no matter if written on the wall or not: There is a mistake in the text. It should be "ALLEM" and nothing else. |

Interesting set of photos, with a American/Bavaria Sector plated Beetle, seen to be full of household goods and clothing, heading for the Eastern/Russian Sector of Berlin, it seems it has parked in front of a Pro-Communist Relief building............wonder what the rest of the story is on this little adventure?

I think that the beetle in the photos above was headed west, judging by the buildings behind the Tor and the position of the sun/shadows...? |
