German soldiers defending the western bank of the Narva River, with the fortress of Ivangorod on the eastern side....

I wonder if these fellas are at, or close by to, Hermann Castle/Narva Castle/Narva Fortress....

After seeing the photo above I remembered I have a link for some high-res photos of a David Brown VIG1/100 Tug - check HERE.

Perfect for modellers...and not only.
Cheers!

It is indeed! I don't know if there are any models in 1:35 or 1:32 (P.S. Yes, there is) for perfect detailing. I bought once a partial model (or remnants of a model) from my local hobby store for $2. It was a tractor with bomb trolleys, with a separate instructions sheet but no manufacturer or company name. Years later I found out it was a part from the Airfix Short Stirling model in 1:72 and is the same David Brown tug. Airfix also manufactured a Bomber re-supply set in the later years with the same (better detailed) tug in 1:72.
I don't build models in 1:72 anymore but it might come handy as an addition to a bigger in size model (some bomber I have started years ago and never finished) from the stash.

It wasn't too large vechicle so the 1/25 scale like for the cardboard models would be the best one IMHO.

Looks like the prop stays still and the airplane spins.
