"Typical" scene in the German countryside, c.1930s, near Frankfurt a/Main.  The German worker had been put back to work in part by building the Reichsautobahn and the German 'airship' industry was in full swing.

well, at least it is only 2 km from where I was born, Frankfurt Airport... :)

Now looks a little different (the 1930 pic shows the same area as the Luftbrücke Memorial):

not that I am a German bus expert, but it may be the Mercedes 3500 Streamline 1936 model:
