RE: A British M4A4 in Athens. Questions. (1) Standing German or perhaps Finish uniformed rifleman to the left? (2) Two of the kneeling troopers look very much like Royal Navy Commandos. (3) The third trooper by the light post appears to be wearing either a Russian or French helmet – resolution of photo is not quite good enough for to be sure… Just curious about the details appearing to contradict each other in this picture.
I found your site while when watching the ‘Chieftain’s Q&A Series’ by amateur historian Nicholas Moran.
Colour photo captioned ” a British crew pal around …….” is actually a Sherman V of the Canadian 29th Reconnaissance Regiment (The South Alberta Regiment). The tank was commanded by Major David Currie (VC) and was nicknamed “Clanky”. Photo taken in Normandy around Arromanches in July 1944.

about the sherman :Later production small hatch M4 Sherman, probably somewhere in the MTO or ETO.
Those tankers are not wearing allied clothing.
They sure look like Germans in a captured Sherman
