It's been 75 years since the nazi hordes invaded Greece and on April 27, 1941 the Germans entered Athens through the northern suburbs of the Greek capital.
In the period photo, two German soldiers on a motorbike with a sidecar strike a pose on Kifissias Avenue, just outside "Zirineio Sports Club".
This is the same spot, as it is today, taken from Google Street View.
Note that the electricity column, the utility pole supporting wires for electrical power distribution, remains exactly the same, despite the 75 year gap between the two shots!
The same applies for the main entrance of "Zirineio", which remains virtually unchanged!
This is another view of the exact spot, from above. The Germans were at the junction of Kifissias Avenue and Zirini Street.
