As Ron said, it’s in Nijmegen according to the commentary. Problem with this type of documentary is that one can never be sure if they use actual footage of the fights or battles they describe.

The Church and statue in the background should help in narrowing it down.....but no luck yet!

Is that an airborne 6 pounder that shows to the left of the carrier and 6 pdr?

Interesting Jeep too.

Also, the YouTube video linked to above, with the church and statue in the background, is no longer available

I've read about his T16 with electric drive, interesting stuff.
(Maybe we should we call it the Tesla-16? )

T16 T94950 with an interesting field modification. This photo was made during the Memorial D-Day Parade at the Potterstraat street in Utrecht in June 1945. All the men and their equipment were clearly polished up for this event. During wartime service no doubt the rack fitted on the front glacis would be stowed to the brim with the crew's belongings.

If I identintified this correctly, this T16 belonged to The Highland Light Infantry of Canada (white 67 on brown) of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division (gold maple leaf on French-grey) - ref. https://canadiansoldiers.com/vehicle...antryunits.htm

On closer inspection of the photo and with guidance from an expert, the conclusion is this is not a T16 but a Windsor Carrier in service with "troops with the 11th Armoured Division moving off".

The Carrier in the photo has the first style sand shields and 6pdr blast shield folding mounting arms, so it is definitely a Windsor. No T16s were used by British units during WW2 in NWE.
