What is it?

German (obviously ) MK II D tank converted to flamethower vehicle.
The MK IID used a different suspension than the other MK IIs with four large road wheels.

The "guns" on the fenders are flame projectors.

The hell? Is this the spring potato judging contest? What on earth is going on in that picture?

 

[Peter Gunn]

Makes you wunder why they brought trucks.

Judging by the photo's I'd say something on the order of very large exercise machines.

"C'mon Joachim... time for some cardio..."

OK, it's sorta' related to WWII, a sign in Corpus Christi Texas circa 1940
(Piggly-Wiggly is a grocery store chain in the southern U.S. for our overseas friends.)
So much innuendo could be had here, I'll leave it to your imaginations.
