The photographer was an Austrian medical doctor in the Wehrmacht.

Can anyone help me with finding his unit ?

Thank you.

Hello Ian !

That sounds very promising :
The photo of the grave is from a soldier of Schützen-Rgt. 304, formed in autumn 1940 in WK XVII (Wien).
http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/...er/SR304-R.htm
It was subordinated to 2. Pz.Div. also located in that area and that unit would fit to the other locations you mentioned :
http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/...onen/2PD-R.htm

Would be nice to see more of that very interesting unit !

Best regards,

Hello !

Very nice pictures of 2. Pz.Div. !

I'll attach a map of the way of 2. Pz.Div. in Greece.
Perhaps its useful to identify some places.

Thanks for your efforts and for sharing all these great color images.
Please keep on posting !
