What happened to these buses ?  I understand that Henschel bought a licence from Doble in 1931 and that they were used by Kasseler Transport AG, Bielefelder Stadtwerke and Bremer Vorortbahnen AG, as well as the Deutsch Reichsbahn, with a maximum speed of 110 km/h.  But the puzzle bus seems to have been used in Scandinavia.  But it's difficult to find infos about them.

What makes you think that? The puzzle picture seems to be the same bus as the one you posted, which was photographed in the German town of Wuppertal.

My error.  I zoomed on the picture and I falsely read a Ø on the direction sign.

The sign says Dienstwagen (service car).
