Thank you, Owen, I had missed the small thumbnail.

I'm no shermanologist, but to me that's an American tank! It has a white star, and on the glacis I think I can read on the port side the lettering 15 (or is it only 5?) followed by a triangle, which denotes 5th or 15th Armored Division. On the port side it clearly reads USA (another clue!) and the serial no. below, and the tank commander has what appears to be an Armour Flash (you know, the red-yellow-blue triangle on the upper arm.

The lettering on the building under the presumably red star ("Is this a Red Herring?" "No, this is a Krasnaya Zvezda!"*) is not in Cyrillic, ends with Tito, therefore It logically puts the scene in Yugoslavia !!!

So here we have a late war Yank Sherman M4A3 76mm HVSS in 1945 in Yugoslavia!
