The pictures of the Anschluss I have seen show plenty of Mercedes cars in the lineup of vehicles, so I definitely need to use one. Since it is not clear from the photographs, were they in civilian or military colors, or both?
Depends on which Mercedes it was.
The Reichswehr had KĂĽbelwagens based on Mercedes cars
I don’t know if they used conscripted cars during the Anschluss but they did
later when a lot of officers needed suitable transportation, higher rank → fancier car.
Some of the conscripted cars kept their paintwork for a while, most/all were
probably repainted sooner or later.
Don’t know what brand of car this is:

The license plate says this truck is registered in the city area of MĂĽnich (Bavaria),
the lettering on the side of the van body also look like “Münche” and there is some
lettering and the number 3 on the door. I wonder if this could have been a truck
from the fire brigade, black fenders and dark green bodywork.
