Hello Geoff,
I've never been far away. It would be very nice, if you or another forum member could find out, where the picture was taken.
It comes from a 1970s Kettenkrad book by Friedhelm Abel and the caption says only: "This pictures was taken at the invasion front in northern France, June 1944".
On the sign on the building on the right, just above the Kettenkrad, I think one can read "Cherbourgh". (Not on the scan but in the book).
Only five days are left until "Tanks in Town" and the next week will become very busy for me. At first I took vacation for all the week to prepare the Kettenkrad for the event. Now I have to work on Monday and on Wednesday I have to drive to Mannheim (420 km from here) tp pick up my new (used) car. It is another silver BMW 525i but not the 1995 model, now it is the 2004 model.
The good news: I can use the new car for the journey to Belgium. With ventilated leather seats...
Best regards
Andreas
