"31 Rolls of Undeveloped Film from a Soldier in WWII Discovered and Processed:

Photographer Levi Bettweiser is the man behind the Rescued Film Project, an effort to find and rescue old and undeveloped rolls of film from the far corners of the world.

He recently came across one of his biggest finds so far: 31 undeveloped rolls of film shot by a single soldier during World War II."

The FT-17 looks to be one of the US made copies, it has an all steel front wheel where the French examples were wood and steel composites.

I'd guess from the other photos with a similar background it was a 'gate guard' at a US training camp & some bright spark though that painting an 'Iron Cross' on the side of the old wreck would prepare the new recruits to face the real thing – sillier things were done at the time.
