It's German, a Grosstraktor, one of the experimental designs tested in Kazan during the early thirties.
Later on it was used as gate guardian inside a barrack, and that's where the picture was taken.

thanks Massimo. I've bought a nice set of 10 pictures of captured British, French and Soviet equipment. Now I know where the pictures were taken.

I bought the same set off e-bay about 2 years ago!

well, what does it means? Do you think that there photos were made in quantities during WW2, or could it be reprints from the postwar period?

I didn't buy them on Ebay, but on a French forum.

Hello,

I received the photos today and frankly, they look original. Most of them have "Agfa Brovira" markings and "Foto-König G811 Grosskopie" stamp, one has something hand-writed in Gothic script. I think that several sets were printed and provided to some German officers.
