    Looks like the same machine/location, though I cannot for the life of me find a better/larger image.
    This from an expired ebay sale:

    Not sure what this one was used for but the Luftwaffe used them as tractors to pull planes.

    Those sheds seem curiously familiar now.
    Panzerschule?
    France?
    Kummersdorf?
    Kazan maybe?

    Know I've seen them before.

    Top right of this Kazan image... maybe. Maybe not.
