    I thought i would put these original colour slides from my collection up again to ID the area. Taken by a German officer?
    I think this could be Boulogne? churches in the background.

    looks like: Basilica of Notre-Dame, Boulogne - Wikipedia

    I would also like to add a small detail:
    Morris CS9 armoured cars
    Was able to identify ‘Channel coast, 28.11.1940’ from the text above
    High numbering ‘1982 - 85’, vehicles are marked ‘scrap’ and recorded by the ever-popular Panzerbeutestab 2

    At the bottom right of the slide looks like they have crossed out something. I tried to make it lighter.

    In the left background is this vehicle, which has me thinking rear-right quarter of a Guy armoured car, but not conclusive.
