The car is easy: IFA F9 (309/4) Kübelwagen. The venue is going to take more time, however. Should I recognize one of these gentlemen? Brits behind the Iron Curtain, I presume?

Go ahead and unolock it. I'm thinking this event was probably not so well known to us Colonials. And it's just as well, as I believe I'll have reached "expert" status before I find the answer, placing this puzzle off limits to me.
