A picture from 1933
« on: July 12, 2018, 11:19:52 PM »
Please find attached a photo which has just been uploaded to the Fortepan archive in Hungary. It was definitely NOT taken in Hungary. The date is 1933. I have no idea about either the location or the car in the front - any help would be appreciated.

My first thought was Vienna and the car to the left could be an Austro-Grade - a licence build...

IŽll check that.

The pic is not from 1933, but from 1938-1943/44  taken at the Deutsches Museum: "Actually, the photo was taken in the Deutsches Museum, but not as early as 1933. The hall had been built in 1937 und the exhibition opened in 1938. So, the photo was probably taken between May or June 1938 and 1943/44. During the war some of the objects were removed into a mine to protect it in case of bombing. (The Lancia Lambda which you can see in the centre of the photo was given to the Museum in May 1937)".
