January 1941, Bucharest, Romania.
German troops involved in the Balkan campaign enjoying leave in the city.
It was a main street which I think is now known as Magheru Boulevard.
Yup, In those days it was called Take Ionescu Boulevard, but you got right. Your turn!
Following on from the previous Romanian photo, there are others in that series of Life magazine photos
which show that Bucharest was a very modern city at the time with an impressive and handsome display of art deco architecture and engineeering.
I regret to say that I had thought of Romania as a backwater before, during and after the war, but these photos show that that it was well advanced if it could produce those modern buildings.
Perhaps it is a testament to the likes of Ceauşescu that people like me think that Romania was a backwater.

Thanks.
This is probably easier than my last offerings.
England (London maybe), 1940? English children being sent to rural areas due to the danger of German bombing raids or even an invasion.
It’s never as easy as it looks but I’ll give it a shot:
English children evacuating to the countryside during the Blitz, 1941?
Right idea, wrong year.
Right idea, wrong year.
(Ignore edit note in your last post, which you didn’t edit and which didn’t change your post. I pressed the wrong mod button, as I am widely and correctly regarded as an idiot.)
Operation Pied Piper Sept. 1939?
Ok,
it is not 1940. Neither it is 1941.
1939 is taken by Navyson…
So the only option left free is June 1944 - Spring 1945. Evacualtions from London took place in response to the German V2 attacks. About 1 million people were displaced.
Month and year exactly correct.
Your turn.
Alas, Navyson got the correct year.
BTW, FTG has yet to offer his puzzle from the last joint effort.
Should’ve known it was 1939, they still had lobster - as the ad on the bus says.
Thanks, RS, will look for a new puzzle (guess it’s in navyson’s interest;))…
:shock: Wow, got one right! Sorry for the delay, had to work late.
This is probably pretty easy but I thought this was a great picture:
Edit: Sorry for the size, already reduced it four times!
Looks like Saint Paul’s Cathedral in London.
The year is less evident from the picture, but I would go for 1940.
This is probably one of the most famous war photographs in existace, along with the those depicting raising of the flag on Iwo Jima and the Reichstag in Berlin…
The exact date is 29 December 1940. It was during this raid that the cathedral was hit by an incendiary bomb, but luckily it was put out before it could set the roof on fire…
Wow, I didn’t know it was that famous of a picture. The date on the picture I found was 29 Sept. 1940, but on further review (I looked up St Paul’s Cathedral on Wikipedia) wings of wrath has the correct date. I thought it would be easy and wiki had the picture right there. Oh well.
Guess it’s your turn!
Nope, It’s Egorka’s turn, because he got both the place and time right before me - I was only adding a tidbit of corroborating information.
Wingsofwrath, I actually owe yuo one for that Ploesti question_ where you absolutely correctly pointed at an error. So the next time I win the question I will pass my turn to you. 
Here is my next question.
There are 2 puctures. Their depict the same event.
Question: Where, When, Who are these people, What is the occasion?
Bonus question for the most gifted people: The officer on the left side on the first picture, standing in front of the line - who is he?
