I think that is a German DKW of some sort.

My HS shop teacher was a crewman on B-25s in the Mediterranean theatre, and he survived all his missions just fine, but a joyride on a motorcycle left behind by the Germans ended up causing his only serious war injury. You might say he was "down" on motorcycles.
