Aufklärungstruppe Getting Ready for a Parade

Given the attention being paid to their uniforms, these scouts appear to be getting ready for a parade or ceremony of some sort. These soldiers are attributed to one of the troops of Aufklärungs-Abteilung (motorisiert) 6. The lead armored car is an Sd.Kfz. 221 armed with a single machine gun in a manually traversing turret. It is followed by several Sd.Kfz. 223’s, essentially the radio version of the same vehicle, identifiable by its typical prewar and early-war frame antenna.
