Second photo appears top be a Mercedes 320d convertible - given that someone has found one which is purported to be Hitler's personal example, I'd imagine the film/programme-makers chose it to transport their "Hitler".

3rd picture centre; is it a Tatra?
It's a pity there isn't a front view of the minibus, station wagon, or whatever you care to call it

The body would have been done by a coach or bus body builder of some kind.
I don't recall a Tatra looking like that, but it's not impossible. The other Mercedes (almost out of shot) would seem to be a 170.

It's from a 'name this film' quiz:

There are a few more shots of the 'bus', but all from the rear, unfortunately.

Could it be a Skoda?

As it appears to be a 'film about a film' set in the UFA studios, I suspect the chap in the Merc is actually meant to be Goebbels rather than Hitler. That fake mountain has all the look of a recreation of a set from a typical Goebbels musical variety production of the period - a sort of cinematic version of 'Saturday Night at the London Palladium' - while the complete absence of swastikas strongly suggests this is something made in Germany.
Pure guess on the bus - a Steyr. It looks similar to - but smaller than - the one in the 1979 remake of The Lady Vanishes. Which according to IMCDB is actually a 1949 model ...

Your analysis of the movie itself is certainly spot on, Vitesse2, but at the moment I am just after the vehicles themselves. I will eventually try to find the movie as well, this weekend, and if it is on imcdb I will post here the result.
Thanks for the help, everybody!
