Yeah, these are surrendering Germans.  LIkely Ruhr Pocket mass-surrender time period- the Germans drove their tanks up to surrender all their equipment and such.

That is one damn lucky Pz2 crew though.

Brummbar + Pz II, wonky combo. Did the Pz II function as a command vehicle? The barrel seems to be disabled.

StuG Brigades sometimes had PzIIs in their Begleit Batteries, so maybe there was a similar structure for Brummbär units.

Recon seems more likely, as the PzII wouldn't have enough space for all the radio's to be a command vehicle. But then again late war they might've just used anything they could get their hands on.

No idea, Germans are from Sturmpanzer-Abteilung 216 on enroute to Anzio bridgehead (February '44).

As I said above, they are brits, so these guys are definitely surrendering.  I don't really see this being Anzio, unless you have proof to back that up.

The same Sturmpanzer Ausf. II, same place;

and if that's not good enough, go to Bundesarchiv; 101I-312/905/4A
