I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that it's a 1940 something or other Mercedes Benz. Something like a 770?

I think it's been ran over by a tank. Presumably a T-34.

Nope, it was hit by a bomb dropped from a bomber.

I don't know about that the only information I have about this picture is that it's taken in Helsinki in 1939-1944.

Edit: I did some digging this picture is from 1939

Notice the placement of the door handles of the car in the OP. I'm thinking Mercedes.

I make it a traction avant. the suicide doors are a good clue. Also, they used to use them for police cars between the wars so it makes sense that they'd be lying around.

OK, we have large 4 door convertible. Very peculiarly shaped headlights. Fuel cap on the rear fender, Front doors are suicide. Rear wheels have a cover, which is not mounted at the moment, note the three mount points. Might be a Skoda Superb or Favorit. Not a perfect match with other pictures, though.
