Both are now in restoration in the private Museum of Military Technology Monuments. The Sd. Kfz. 250 is in very good condition with its original paint still on. You can see the emblem of the 25th Panzer Division on the right side of the front of the car. If the engine is intact, the restoration to full mobility will not take long.
There are some parts missing, and some with minor damage, probably due to an explosion which occurred between those two vehicles; the Germans were probably trying to destroy them as they were unable to reach the top of high river bank. There is lots of stuff inside the vehicle: personal items, boots, and tools, and all of them are now carefully restored by specialists.
The video is narrated in Polish, but the images are simply stunning, two time capsules, untouched since the end of World War Two!
