Whatever it was, what troubled me from the start was the neatness of the troops in the picture and their access to medical equipment to treat the dog. Didn’t seem likely in the 1st Div Guadalcanal campaign, but I suppose anything is possible in war. And especially in base areas.
3rd Div seems a lot more likely.
Maybe some expert can work it out from the pith helmet on the Marine at the right of picture.
I think that this, or part of it, was used in a Soviet (propaganda) poster before or after the war which I think I’ve seen occasionally, but apart from maybe Hungarian or Czech (shows what I know about languages composed mostly of hostile consonants ;)) I don’t have any idea.
Definitely Hungarian, so as a quick guess I’d say Budapest in February 1945.
Mr. Flamethrowerguy, you certainly nailed the place, Budapest, Hungary, but I’m afraid that the date is wrong…
I already thought my guess would be too easy as an answer.
The timeframe is still WW2 based, isn’t it?
You have a BIG clue in the picture as to exactly when this was taken… It’s after February 13, 1945, that’s for sure.
I see. The big clue is the tank I was wondering about in the first place.
It’s an image of a T-44 probably taken shortly after the Hungarian Revolution, hence November 1956?
Bingo! 
Your turn!
In September 1944 Soviet forces crossed the Hungarian border. On October 15, 1944, Horty announced that Hungary had signed an armistice with Soviet Union.
I go for Budapest (Hungary), October 1944.
Cheers.
Ok, next one. Where = country; when = year. Since this is relatively easy I’d like to hear an answer to ‘what’.
That is a Lancaster bomber dropping a “chaff” cloud (RAF code-name “Window”).
Most likely the picture was taken on the 24th of July 1943, during “Operation Gomorrah”, a bombing raid over Hamburg, Germany.
I was thinking Window also, but the size of it made me think it must be something else, and possibly incendiaries on the ground out of perspective because of the lens length.
If that’s a Window drop, it’s vastly bigger than I’d ever imagined.
Baskets of Potato Bugs,somewhere in Germany. Yeah, thats the ticket… 
wingsofwrath is right. A Lancaster dropping ‘windows’ (UK) resp. ‘chaff’ resp. ‘Düppel’ (German). Photo should have been taken in the second half of 1943, the timeframe where ‘windows’ was effective.
Alright, here is the next enigma; as usual, time (year, no exact date known) and place (city, country) are mandatory.
Hi wingsofwrath,
since i haven’t got enough to identify anything, i’ll say " AA German position on the Vistula River, next Warsaw (Poland) in 1939…
Cheers.
The guy with the camera is German Navy war correspondent Horst Grund (*July 29, 1915 in Berlin; +May 8, 2001 in Düsseldorf) who shot a lot of interesting -although a bit pale- colour photos throughout the war.
This particular photo was taken in 1941 (obviously in summer time as the MG 13 gunner suggests;)) in the Romanian town Constanta by the Black Sea.

You are, of course, right, Mr. Flamethrowerguy!
The picture was indeed taken by Horst Grund in my home town of Constanta as part of a set focusing on German naval operations on the Black Sea (such as the “8 Seenot” sea rescue squadron operating from Mamaia, to the north of Constanta) for the Propagandakompanie der Marine.
Interestingly, the inner basin of the port, with the three grain elevators (built from 1896 to 1905, some of the first ever reinforced concrete buildings of this type) looks pretty much the same today as it did in 1941, even though the port itself more than tripled in size and is now the biggest and busiest cargo harbour on the Black Sea (42,014,000 tons of assorted cargo and 594,299 TEUs)
As per board custom, it is now your turn to post.
Thanks for the additional info, wingsofwrath.
Took me some time to find a new one…
The photo does not come up in best quality and does not offer too many hints but I can tell that these are Germans and the ‘where & when’ is kind of extraordinary.
Interesting.
I haven’t seen this picture before, but to me it seems to suggest two places where it might have been taken:
2)The Greenland Campaign -also part of “The Weather War” a series of attempts by the Kriegsmarine to establish weather stations in Greenland, which led to several inconclusive skirmishes between the German forces, made up of nineteen men, and the American “Greenland Army” also known as the “North-East Greenland Sledge Patrol”, consisting of fifteen men…
