Looks like the location of the video is somewhere in Poland by looking at the armbands on some of the civilians (Home Army?).
You can see the Shermans on the early part of the film reel have their main guns locked and their .50 calibers covered, with only the crerws carrying carbines.
Further on down the video, you can see the Germans marching; a combination of Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and SS soldiers. As for the vehicles. Mostly wheeled vehicles, as well as half tracks; there was an Sd. Kfz. 7/2 armed with a quad 37mm flak gun, along with an Sd. KFZ. 10/4 at around the 15 minute mark; I’m not 100% certain, but that’s what i think they were.

There’s a very cheerful SS officer (Sturmbannführer) at minute 13:48.
It doesn’t even look like he lost the war

Sd.Kfz. 234 Puma.
Sd. Kfz. 251/1 Ausf. D
Sd. Kfz. 9 (?) - I think this is the 18-ton prime mover.
Squad of US M8 Greyhound Scout Vehicles. Looks like a recon element.
Steyr 1500A.
Three armiored haltracks used as flak guns, i think based off the Sd. KFz. 7
