An interesting video of German troops surrendering at Liege.
Great scene on 00:45 with a 234/1 towing another one:

Carlos, this is excellent film-- the varied number of vehicles is incredible-- did anyone notice at the 15-31 second point there's a German military sedan passing the trucks and armored cars and the whole left front fender is torn off- that would be a neat model to build-- an open wheel racer circa 1944! also, the cable recovery of the armored car with the cable running through the view-ports! Field Expedient recovery at it's best! Thanks for sharing-- this would be great for diorama ideas. VR, Russ

It looks like between 1:25-1:36 in the video that the truck behind the Maultier might have one of the coal burning engines.

Does that sd.kfz 7/2 with the armored cab not have a gun on the flatbed, but is used to haul cargo?

Intersting footage which I've not seen before. I was quite surprised to see the MG bunker in the middle of an urban environment.

Thanks for sharing.
when you think you've seen most if not all of the WWII, and WWI, film footage, along comes another gem.
Well played sir.
