Sturmgeschütz III StuG 40 moving in the streets of Athens, Greece, against the backdrop of the famous Acropolis hill, and the Parthenon temple that stands above it. This photo was taken in 1943 - when Greece was still occupied by the German troops - and was first published in the SIGNAL magazine in the early 1944 issue. However, this one StuG did not belong to the Sturmartillerie unit of the Heer (Army) or Waffen-SS, but belonged to the Luftwaffe (Air Force), precisely V.Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung / Panzer-Artillerie-Regiment / Panzer-Division "Hermann Göring". In 1943, this Luftwaffe's sole armored unit was operating in the Mediterranean region, primarily in North Africa, Sicily and mainland Italy.
