Rick Cove's picture has the file name "1st Panzer Div", this may be a clue?

The German did not take captured vehicles with them when they retreated from North Africa. They barely had enough shipping available for the soldiers and armoured vehicles. So if this is Eastern Europe, the truck must have come from elswehere.
