I’m guessing you are referring to the review view of the vehicle in the center as the “former German car.” It is a US Army Dodge WC-56 or WC-57, series 4x4, 3/4 ton, Command Car. See this Wikipedia article and photographs:

The left hand vehicle is, obviously, the good old Army jeep.

It could well be. From the rear it just reminded me of one of those VW type vehicles the Germans drove.
