Panzer IV Ausf. H No. 536 belonging to SS-Unterscharfuhrer Willy Kretzschmar from the SS-Panzer Regiment 12 in Normandy. He has around 15 confirmed kills.

Apparently, his Panzer IV was hit by Canadian Artillery in Buron and it was immobilized for a day (explains the missing track).

That looks awfully much like Norway. And a captured Colt MG as well heightens my suspisions.

That can't be an MG 08-15.  It looks nothing like it. I agree that it is a Colt M/29.

What are those two other tank types that are shown in this picture?

I know the sdkfz 251 with 75mm in the front and then the 222 third from the front, but what is between those two (which is also on the street in the back) and the tank crossing the ditch?

Captured French tanks. (R35 maybe?)

OK, I see that now.  I thought they looked familiar, but they looked odd to me.  I thought the one between the sdkfz 251 and 222 had no turret, but I guess the combination of the H39 being so small along with the angle of the photograph and soldiers in front makes it look odd.

Thanks!  ;D
