That's Coney Island. All the lights you see were put out by Edison in an effort to show the public they are a safe.

I would say either the British or South African army. I think its one of those two based on the weapon, which appears to be a light anti-tank rifle. I don't recall the Africa Korps using such weapons, but I could be wrong.
