I believe that this is the "Propylaea" (gateway) on the Acropolis of Athens. Going through the gateway (which served as a checkpoint) leads you to the Parthenon.

Second World War. Soldiers in the trunk of a truck. One of them has a headwound. Greece, Crete, 1941.

These guys are probably captured Greek soldiers. Some of them are wearing the old French-style helmet. The guy in the background is a German.
