This is a color slide showing motorcycle soldiers from the Panzer-Aufklärungs-Abteilung 5 of the 2. Panzer-Division entering Greece in 1941. In March 1941 the Abteilung took part in the Balkan campaign and took Salonika on April 12, 1941. The Abteilung then remained in Greece for security purposes. The 1. Schwadron was sunk during a ship transport and thus destroyed.
