Is this a shot from Berlin '45 (SOURCE) ? Did SS Div 11 Nordland use the same swastika marking as Wiking? Would appear so. Nordland was a regiment in SS Wiking until used as the core for new division in early 44. Wiking picked up other freiwilligen brigaden and legions as replacements (Wallonien, Galician and either Latvian or Estonian. Anything distinctive in this photo that identifies the SPW as belonging to an aufklarung abteilung?

yes, it's a '45 Berlin shot...what I remember from reading on the net is that this road was one of the roads leading away from the Germans and in the direction of the Allies.

It was during the very last days, end april-begin may, that this HT got K/O'd.
