Note: Probably the photo is not taken at the exact location. Please let me know the exact location if you know. The now photo is taken from the Kousteensedijk

After some study I found out this photo was taken before the Gelbe Kaserne in Aachen. The Gelbe Kaserne is not there anymore but was located at the corner of the Düppelstraße / Elsasstraße. These german soldiers surrender at the Düppelstraße.
It would not surprise me if the trees still the same as in the old photo.
