The area looks like France, and if it is, they wouldn't have been turned over to the Russians.

My guess is somewhere near Passau. Crowd reaction appears to be that of German civilians or at least ethnic Germans (Sudeten Germans). Geography doesn't look like Linz, Austria.

One of the halftracks might have a rune of the 2nd SS Panzer Division which surrendered in the area of Linz, Austria but Passau, Germany is not far away.

These scenes appear to take place in the spring. US forces would have reached Passau and Linz in May of 1945.
