A German motorcycle crew and greek policemanm, April 9 1941

Then
A German motorcycle crew getting instructions from of a Greek policeman in the morning of April 9th 1941, at the very early stages of the German forces entrance to Thessaloniki.

Now
A lot of interventions have taken place since 1941, so the area is today not at all recognizable. Situated in the ever changing old city entrance, the Vardar square, the scene can only be matched with the use of the roads and the building blocks, which stand pretty much unchanged.
