That's a 'Blitz' lorry and there appears to be a soldier in WW2 era uniform. This location took a quite a bit of educated guesswork to pin down. A fellow vintage photo enthusiast in Germany finally dispelled all doubt by visiting this street yesterday and taking this photo for me.
Photographs I've gleaned from flea markets, junk shops and sometimes ebay. The cheaper the better. Anything with a story that can be extracted from hand written notes, location research, local histories, census records......anything. A small band of fellow enthusiasts worldwide have helped me with many of these. Of course there are always mysteries that defy research, but there's even a story inside these. All images can be viewed at super-size on Flickr.

Jägerstraße, Potsdam, Germany. 1930s or 1940s.

Still very much the same, but a lot more cheerful today.
